Cube Logo Wardle Marine Services have been steadily growing over the past few years and their modular cube systems have been a huge part of this.
The cubes not only create pontoons flexible enough for rougher waters (have a look at the You Tube video of surfers using them as a platform to jump onto the waves from!) they are also variable enough to have moon pools, to double or triple stack, and to create in a variety of formations, exclusive to the client’s specific design. Wardle Marine recently got in touch with their manufacturer PMS and ordered a logo stamp for their cubes, which are now embossed in the centre, so everyone can see who they’ve been bought or hired from, which they love! Oliver Wardle said ‘We are really pleased with the new cube logo, it looks great and I feel it will give our clients a sense of partnership with us.’
Commenting on his appointment, David said: “I am delighted to join ILAMA’s Board of Directors as Vice-Chair and look forward to continuing to elevate ILAMA’s position as the international voice for safety. I will continue to liaise regularly with regulatory authorities to establish new or improved safety standards across the global maritime sectors.”
Through ILAMA, David is an Observer at MarED and also represents ILAMA on the EU Passenger Vessel Safety Committee. He is also participant at both ISO TC8 and TC188 working groups.
ILAMA plays a significant role in international maritime and offshore oil and gas safety.
Rentals are becoming a bigger and bigger part of the business, for which currently, the cubes are solely used, but the team are looking into building stock for Rotodock rentals too. Renting cubes can be a cost effective way of utilizing the pontoon systems for shorter periods of time. Many commercial clients have used them for a huge variety of jobs, from window cleaning, bridge repairs, taking core samples, private events, public events and diving platforms. Renting is becoming almost as popular as purchasing, and WMS have recently increased their stock levels to cope with the increase in demand. Obviously renting the cubes with the logo on is great for Marketing and PR and gets the name out to a huge variety of locations. The cube systems can be rented with many accessories, such as handrails and rope, various moorings, cleats, eye bolts and fenders. The engineering team at Wardle Marine have also recently made bespoke bracket items for a rental job, as Ciarran (Marketing and PR) said: ‘It’s likely that if one client needs a specific ‘one off’ product for their rental, you can be assured someone else will too,

in the future. We are more than happy to accommodate client’s individual requests for rental jobs and nearly every time have been able to supply a part or product that fulfils their needs.’.
The modular cubes are a huge part of the Wardle Marine business, whether for purchasing or renting; a straight pontoon, or completing a drive on dock. The team appear very proud to have their logo embossed in the centre, a sure sign of an ongoing, burgeoning relationship.
