Blocks for docks

n “instant dock” made of plastic building blocks is about to be marketed in the islands region.

The square interlocking blocks can be assembled in a matter of minutes to form a

long lasting floating jetty.

A spokesman for the market ing company, Johnson Diversi fied of Australia, said tests had shown the blocks to be totally resistant to oils and sea water.

He said the blocks had already been used overseas for

small private docks and for large commercial floating pon toons, jetties and marinas.

They were used to form the temporary yacht and boat docks at the yachting and row ing venues of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.
