Technomarine dock products in Bermuda handled the recent Cat 1 (85mph) winds of Igor with vessels loaded just fine. We had 3 people ask yesterday about the storm and I explained they are designed for a Category 3 loaded with a safety factor of 1.5". We have 3 Technomarine sites that have survived Cat 4 winds in 2003 (Fabian).
When we called our customers in Bermuda for any pre-storm plans Friday and they all responded “it's just a mid-level Cat 1, we're not even worried!!
