To signal and create a safe area for the mooring of cruise ships, Marina di Portofino asked for the collaboration of Resinex which created two pem 21 elastic beacons equipped with underwater float with a thrust of 4700 kge

Cruise ships can moor at Portofino again.

The decree n. 138/2015 of the Port Authority has changed the coordinates of the mooring area of the cruise ships which dock at Portofino.

It is a turn which establishes the approach of the mooring zone from 0,7 to 0,3 NM from the external perimeter of the Marine Area.

To signal and to create a safe zone for the mooring of the cruise ships, Marina of Portofino required the Resinex cooperation in manufacturing two elastic beacons type PEM 21, equipped with subsurface float with a net buoyancy of 4700 kg and a platform able to host two operators.

The elastic beacons are 7 m high on the sea level and are positioned at a depth of 18 m and visible at 4 NM around the horizon.

One elastic beacon is complete of a position transmitter for the A.I.S. localisation of the beacon itself, of an anemometer for the detection of the speed and direction of the surface wind (placed at 7 m from the sea level) and a wave height device with an ultrasound probe.
