The organizers of the Olympic Games and the city of Marseille, which will host the sailing events of the 2024 Olympic Games, have officially awarded the contract to supply the Roucas Blanc Marina. In association with Spac (Colas Group), the Jean Negri et Fils company, Ecocean and Sam Trasomar, the marina specialist Poralu Marine will supply the harbor facilities in the fall of 2022. The reception of dinghies, catamarans and various Olympic supports, as well as accompanying boats, will require 405 linear meters of floating pontoons (including 15 gangways), as well as 18 meters of corbelled pontoons (fixed on the quay). Poralu Marine will be responsible for their installation.

2nd market for the 2024 Olympic Games

For Poralu Marine, this is the second contract for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The company was also awarded the contract for the Vaires Torcy rowing and inline racing base in Verne-sur-Marne. Based in Port in the Ain region of France, the company has a worldwide presence and has already supplied facilities for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and other international sporting events such as the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games, the 2001 World Rowing Championships in Lucerne (Switzerland) and the 2009 Junior World Rowing Championships in Brive-la-Gaillarde.

"The trust placed in us by the City of Marseille and the local stakeholders in this project confirms our leadership in the design and construction of floating facilities for high-level sports. This is another great reference to use in the field for all our future international projects. Our experience and our recognized knowledge of the market and its requirements allow us to meet the specific technical and safety challenges of this type of international event says Olivier Bracon, sales manager of Poralu Marine.
