Fourteen maritime aids to navigation installed at the inlets of Lido, Malamocco and Chioggia
In 2023, Resinex was contracted to supply fourteen maritime aids to navigation as part of a project issued by the Northern Adriatic Sea Port System Authority for renewing the inlets of Lido, Malamocco and Chioggia.
This project was awarded to Impresa Edile Guadagno Emilio, which turned to Resinex as supplier; installation was completed between 2024 and 2025, with technical supervision provided by Resinex specialists.
Correct marking of the navigable channels is essential for safe navigation: the fourteen aids include lateral marks, buoys, fixed beacons and a tower, with construction types varying according to seabed depth and the nautical requirements of each site.
At Chioggia, the most complex site with eight aids of different types, the C1 safe water mark stands out: positioned offshore, with red and white stripes and a 6 NM range, it marks hazard-free waters in all directions and is the first visual reference for vessels approaching from open sea. The remaining aids are lateral marks — beacons, buoys and a tower — guiding vessels along the access channel to the port entrance.
At Malamocco, four fixed beacon — two red, two green — guard the access channel to the commercial port. Each features a 6-metre focal plane, an IALA-compliant radar topmark, and a self-powered GPS-controlled lantern with a 5–6 NM range.
At Lido, a green buoy and a green fixed beacon mark the Canal of San Nicolò, the channel connecting the lagoon to the Adriatic. Both are fitted with self-powered GPS lanterns and radar reflectors.
Quality and durability are the hallmarks of Resinex products, designed to operate in demanding marine environments and to deliver consistent performance over time, with low maintenance costs.
A competence built over years of international projects, from the Suez Canal to the Venice Lagoon, that Resinex places at the service of ports and maritime authorities around the world.
