PONTOONS & BREAKWATERS Upbeat mood leads to flurry of projects Despite complex logistics, Italian company Ingemar has filed 2021/22 financial reports that match its previous year. This success is largely down to a flurry of modernisation initiatives at Italian marinas that reflect an upbeat mood in the boating community. Over the past six months, Ingemar has completed numerous installations in Italy and also enjoyed new export prospects. The greatest demand in 2021 was for large floating breakwaters. This spurred the company to complete tank tests at the University of Padua for breakwater modules up to 10m (33ft) wide and accelerated its development of a new elastomer damping system for anchor lines. Details of project highlights are as follows: Sardinia: in the Gulf of Arzachena, Ingemar delivered two new T-shaped mooring piers for Smeralda Immobili. One is located in the beautiful and exclusive Cala di Volpe (SS) and the second, intended for maxi-yacht mooring, is in the lively marina of Canniggione (SS). Mooring capacity at Pontile Destriero was also increased. Work completed at Cala Balbiano in La Maddalena (above) and, in the Gulf of Cugnana, Ingemar installed new breakwaters for Sardegna Navigando to protect moorings in Marina Cala dei Sardi (right). These imposing floating barriers measure 120m (390ft) and 200m (660ft) long and are 10m (33ft) wide. They feature semi-flexible connections and unsinkable pontoon elements in reinforced concrete and expanded polystyrene. The units were manufactured at Ingemar’s mobile yard in Olbia and towed to the destination by sea. Porto Venere (SP): Ingemar supplied a new fuel pontoon for CDG Service, and replaced a pontoon that was one of three old mooring piers under municipal management on behalf of the company CEMA. The new floating modules, with refined timber decking and modern access systems, give the area a face lift. Stresa (VCO): An original fixed pontoon with variable inclination and access gangway was completed on the shores of Lake Maggiore to allow tourist boats to dock at the Hotel La Palma. The pontoon automatically adapts to different water levels. Castel Gandolfo (RM): Two floating docks are now in operation on the lake for the Italian Canoe and Kayak Federation (FICK). Each landing consists of a platform and floating walkway. The work was completed with a landside pathway to facilitate access for people with disabilities. Trieste: Ingemar was involved in two initiatives to boost sailing. Floating aluminium piers were installed to enlarge the quayside in the Sacchetta area, and a slipway for small sailing boats constructed in the waters of the old commercial port on behalf of Lega Navale Italiana di Trieste. Villa San Giovanni (RC): Ingemar supplied a first floating pier for Marina dello Stretto, complete with accessories for extra-large boats. Venice: The development of Certosa Island for nautical and recreational purposes never stops. Around 200m (660ft) of floating docks were added under the quay along the Vignole channel, complete with mooring minifingers to create more than 50 berths for short stays. Cetara (SA): Ingemar worked with Cetara Scarl to lengthen the existing pier and provide another 60m of new floating structures. Overseas: Work has been completed on the last of the four marinas at Kuwait Sea City, Kuwait, for a total of 800 berths on approximately 10km (6.2mi) of floating pontoons and fingers. Additional projects were installed in Crete and in the port of Duqm in Oman, and a new commercial collaboration initiated with West Coast Marine of Mumbai, India. Lorenzo Isalberti, founder and president of Ingemar Group, summed up: “It has been a year of difficult and, in many ways, onerous choices. But today we seem to be being rewarded for the efforts we’ve made so far to overcome one of the least happy periods for our global economic system.” www.marinaworld.com – March/April 2022 45
