The barges were loaded and float tested
before being sent to the islands
Heavy duty aluminium boats
10ft (3m) x 2ft (0.6m) wooden wear-strips along either
side of the barges to help deflect some of the bumps and
lumps they are likely to encounter in this remote region.
Wood was the easy choice, as it is something that, in due
time, the islanders themselves should be able to easily
replace. It is this attention to detail that is what makes
Allenco Marine's reputation with its customers so high,
both commercial or recreational.
On arrival once the formalities had been completed
and final sea trials done, which means effectively the
boys learning to play with their toys, the barges have
gone into service where they are now proving to be fit
for purpose for the task in hand and a vital asset to the

Island community.
