Marine buoys: installation, mooring and maintenance in Mexico
Maintenance of navigation buoys, fabrication and installation of mooring buoys, fabrication of concrete sinkers and underwater buoy inspection, with our own vessel, crane and divers.
Marine buoy and aids to navigation services
At Corporativo Costa Afuera (COCOA) we maintain navigation buoys and fabricate, transport and install mooring buoys. We have our own vessel, crane, support boat and specialist divers.
From 2005 to 2010 we carried out preventive and corrective maintenance of the full aids-to-navigation system of the port of Tuxpan. We have also maintained buoys at the port of Matamoros, Tamaulipas.
