Water sportsmen in the Masurian Paradise - expansion of the marina infrastructure with service and training facilities for inland sailors

About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">Mazurski Raj - Hotel, Marina &amp; Spa is located in the forests of Puszcza Piska on the shore of Bełdany Lake, on over 6 hectares of land. Responding to market needs, we intend to expand the range of tourist services provided by Mazurski Raj by opening the resort widely to watermen and providing them with comprehensive service. It will include the provision of a place to carry out training for boaters, an increased number of berthing and wintering facilities for vessels, and servicing of these vessels. An important technological innovation will be the use of a mobile application that will allow the port’s boatswain to transmit information on the location of accidents, malfunctions and other hazards in the water area, including the capacity for calling for assistance with automatic transmission of the location from the application. We will also introduce remote reservations for port, training, or boat service, without the need for an employee to confirm service availability. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The investment covers the construction of a marina for 47 berths, the construction of a service hangar and of training infrastructure with facilities. The Norwegian partner, DSL STAL AS, will be responsible for manufacturing some of the structural elements of the hangar for servicing and storing boats. In addition, the acquisition of floating debris removal equipment will enable us to quickly remove large waste from the surface of the lake, which will help protect the ecosystem. Installing photovoltaic panels with a total capacity of 49.6 kW will reduce annual CO2 emissions by ca. 40 tons.</span></span></p>

Bilateral cooperation results

The partner specializes in manufacturing metal elements, including structural ones, in accordance with individual requirements, also for facilities located above water and exposed to external factors. Cooperation with a partner is important due to the need to build a hangar adapted to the servicing and storage of boats, where it will be necessary to make dedicated metal structures with built-in photocells. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain the correct operation of the IT system and proper reading of the information transmitted by the photocells built into the hangar structure. The proper operation of the system requires the involvement of a partner who specializes in various and dedicated surface treatment of metals in order to eliminate potential disruptions in the communication (IT) infrastructure in order to access information in real time, as well as having experience in incorporating various solutions into the structure, e.g. in the field of availability of seats. It should be noted that the most optimal solution is to install the photocells in the metal structures of the hall, due to the fact that if they are placed e.g. on the pillars in a protruding manner, there is a risk of their damage when bringing the boat in or out of the hangar (sailing boats have masts that can damage sensors or installations if installed outside of structural elements). The company will participate in the implementation of some of the works planned under task 1 in the field of construction of structural elements with built-in photocells in the service hangar and for storing boats. The cooperation was successful.
