Advanced Flooring Systems (AFS) helped successfully upgrade a linkspan for Steam Packet Company at their dock in Douglas, The Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company is the oldest continually operating passenger shipping company in the world, having began operations in 1830.

With year’s of experience in surface preparation, AFS deployed their own in-house surface preparation division for this project. The existing floor was initially broken up using demolition hammers to remove the coarse top layer.
