This floating dock model was commissioned by Acciona in 2018 for trade shows and exhibitions. Kugira means “whale” in Japanese and everything about this floating dock 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 (66 m x 24 m x 21 m.) Kugira holds the record for having constructed the world’s largest floating-dock caisson – 66.85 meters long, 32 meters wide and 34 meters high for the 31 blocks of the Port of Algeciras.
