news Following an encouragingly positive year-end turnover for 2012, the first 6 months of 2013 saw the Group committed to completing, with extremely tight schedules, important commissions both in Italy and abroad. In the second half of this year the company resumed its activity with less frenetic production and a renewed attention to developing the technical and commercial side of the business. In Italy there are already signs of recovery and opportunities abroad are certainly numerous for the company: their defining characteristics of design, independent production and commercial rigour set them apart, especially in foreign markets which are more demanding and selective. Their capacity to develop specialist ad hoc projects, including those outside the nautical sector, their consistent pursuit of innovation, combined with their expertise in managing large contracts as main contractor, have been well rewarded in a sector which is continuously evolving. Notwithstanding the general market instability, particularly in the marine sector, already completed projects and commitments over the next few months will see Ingemar closing the year positively and with sales volumes still slowly growing. Marina del Gargano at Manfredonia in the south of Italy with 700 berths, all on pontoons and fingers, and abroad Ayla Marina at Aqaba in Jordan, with over 3,000 metres of floating structures, represent Ingemar’s most important achievements in the tourist port sector. Their diligence within the field of specialist structures was rewarded with the construction of floating jetties for tugs and tourist boats at La Spezia and of floating platforms for the port of Monte Carlo and for the river Tigris in Irak. Innovation in the field resulted in the successful installation of new maxi floating breakwaters, 6m wide, at Port Gocek in Turkey. More recent acquisitions are the new and prestigious appointments for the all-concrete pontoons of the first marina at La’ala Sea City in Kuwait and for a series of special landings for the Coast Guard of Saudi Arabia.
