Pontoon Hire Services
Marine Services offers versatile pontoon hire solutions—modular floating pontoons, work barges, and access platforms—tailored for film shoots, construction, events, and marine maintenance projects.
Modular Floating Pontoons
Our modular floating pontoons offer complete flexibility: you can combine individual sections to create any footprint you need—whether that’s a stage for an event, a stable camera platform for filming, or a work deck for maintenance tasks. These pontoons boast high load capacity, capable of safely supporting heavy equipment, camera rigs, and crew. Thanks to their bolt-together design, they enable rapid on-site installation, minimising downtime and labour costs.
Work Barge & Access Platforms
Our heavy-duty work barges are perfect for crane-off operations, dive support, and underwater filming, providing a robust base even in challenging marine conditions. Built-in safe access ramps feature non-slip surfaces and sturdy guardrails, ensuring secure transfer of crew and equipment between vessel and platform. We include all necessary life-saving devices, from individually certified life jackets to rescue gear, so you can focus on the job with confidence.

Safety & Compliance
Safety is paramount: every pontoon and work barge is fully surveyed and licensed by the Marine Survey Office. Our operations are backed by HSA-approved safety cover and professional on-water supervision teams. Before each hire, we prepare comprehensive risk assessments and method statements, ensuring your project meets all regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
Our pontoons come with safety railings, toe board and we can offer a weekly inspection service for long term hire.
If scaffolding is being used on the pontoons we can provide a stability report to ensure compliance with all health and safety legislation.
Commercial Lifejackets are available for hire. All our lifejackets are individually certified and registered on a safety asset management system available with backup certification and AF4 forms for each lifejacket
