At Kuryk, in Kazakhstan, one of Saipem’ss world operating bases (www.saipem.it) on the North-East Caspian Sea Coast, Resinex obtained from Ersai (50% controlled by the giant Italian installator) the order for the complete signalling installation in the new port under construction. Our company designed, produced and consigned all the signalling systems also giving assistance in assembling and setting up. Resinex supplied eight elastic beacons and two land beacons for the signalling as well as a complete system for optic alignment of the ships to ensure their safe passage into the port canal. All the lanterns were Pharos Marine led type with the exception of the F4 240 installed for the allignment that used bulbs.
The construction of the port at Kuryk, 4800 inhabitants, 76 kilometres from Aktau, is the most important in the country and was approved in 2005 by the Kazakhstan government on the proposal of Kazmunai Gas, the national oil company. The Kashagan oil field crude will be transported from Aktau to Kuryk, then across the Caspian until Baku where with the aid of the BTC pipe-line (Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan), onto Turkey.
