Guidelines for<br />
sustainable infrastructure<br />
WG 148: Guidelines for Sustainable Recreational Navigational Infrastructure<br />
(RNI), is now available from PIANC.<br />
Giving guidance for sustainable<br />
design, it also outlines the benefits<br />
that sustainable RNI provides, as<br />
an economic engine with social and<br />
environmental benefits, in sustainable<br />
tourism, in large infrastructure<br />
projects, in urban waterfront projects,<br />
and as part of broad conservation<br />
strategies.<br />
The report identifies and provides<br />
analysis of typical concerns that are<br />
faced in the practice of achieving<br />
environmental sustainability in these<br />
types of projects.<br />
It describes the alignment between<br />
Best Practices in marina design and<br />
Working with Nature and provides<br />
case studies, and also features 15<br />
projects that illustrate environmental<br />
design features, as well as examples<br />
of innovative design process<br />
implementation and of successful<br />
regulatory processes.<br />
The 90-page report is free for PIANC<br />
members and priced at €120 for nonmembers.<br />

New marina at<br />
town gateway<br />
MODERNIZING<br />
THE WORLD’S<br />
WATERFRONTS.<br />
MONTENEGRO: A new marina has been completed directly in front of the main<br />
gate of the stunning medieval walled town of Kotor. The investment by the Port<br />
of Kotor will significantly boost nautical tourism and offers mooring for 142<br />
boats from 8-50m (26-164ft) in length at a Marinetek floating marina system.<br />
After the completion of the public<br />
procurement procedure in January,<br />
Marinetek produced and installed the<br />
pontoons, anchoring systems and<br />
mooring equipment in a very short<br />
time, finishing the project by the end of<br />
March <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
The 80m (262ft) long floating<br />
breakwater that protects the marina<br />
is made with Marinetek’s standard<br />
M3820BR breakwater elements and<br />
is anchored by Seaflex. Two piers<br />
perpendicular to the shore, and one<br />
pier parallel to the shore, with a total<br />
length of 204m (669ft) were built using<br />
3m/10ft-wide Heavy Duty pontoon<br />
elements. A standard four-berth<br />
Mediterranean-style anchoring system<br />
is installed, and all vessels have access<br />
to electricity and drinking water.<br />
