Aluminum Composite Panels Included on Award-Winning Marine Terminal

 Omega-Lite® wall panels contribute to project’s use of innovative materials

 Hatfield, PA – Ocean Gateway is a 15,000 square-foot marine passenger terminal located in Portland, Maine that accommodates the international ferry traffic between Portland and Nova Scotia.  One of the goals of the Ocean Gateway project was to incorporate innovative materials and products on the terminal while continuing to embrace the historical heritage setting of the city’s waterfront.   Ocean Gateway, designed by BEA Architects of Miami, Florida and Winton Scott Architects of Portland, Maine, achieved this goal and received a Building of America Award which recognizes imaginative, unique, innovative and dynamic projects in New England. 

The terminal features Omega-Lite^® aluminum composite panels manufactured by Laminators Incorporated in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.  The Bright Silver colored Omega-Lite cladding panels, supplied by Kamco Supply Corporation of Boston, were fabricated on-site and installed by Palace Construction of Litchfield, New Hampshire using Laminators’ patented Clip & Caulk^TM installation system.  Reed, Inc. of Woolwich, Maine was the general contractor on the project.
