This model was commissioned by Acciona in 2018. Acciona is the owner of the Kugira. The model had many
metal parts to ensure its rigidity while transported to
exhibitions and shows. We are the only builder who can
work on metal which is needed quite often to produce
very fine parts in museum-quality model ships. We look
forward to receiving your order of the favorite vessel
that you own and love.
The Kugira floating dock is 74 m long, 49 m wide and 56
m high and casts 66 m x 24 m x 21 m concrete caissons.
It was used to build Spain's most important port
projects, which include the Algeciras dry dock in Cádiz.
Kugira means “whale” in Japanese and everything about
this machine is enormous: 56 meters high (equivalent to
an 18-story building), 74 meters long and 49 meters
wide. This size enables the Kugira to manufacture
concrete caissons weighing up to 24,000 tons. She holds
the record for having constructed the world’s largest
floating-dock caisson – everything is more than 66.85
meters long, 32 meters wide and 34 meters high for the
31 blocks of the Port of Algeciras.
