Pattaya officials have requested 39,370,000 baht from the Bureau of
the Budget, Prime Minister’s Office to install floating docks on three area
beaches to provide mooring for emergency vessels and VIP transport boats.
Officials from the Pattaya Sea Disaster Prevention Center said the
20-meter-long buoys would be installed at Bali Hai Pier and off Jomtien and
Wong Amat beaches. Made of HDPE plastic, they would be impervious to
corrosion and be anchored via ropes to anchors already dropped by the
agency.
The docks can accommodate up to 60 people and would allow for rescue boats
to be tied up alongside. Officials also speculated the docks could provide
swift access to the city for visiting VIPs.
The plan continues the city’s push to increase security in tourist areas on
land and at sea.
