Case

Maritim Consult contributed to the establishment of a new fairway in Vordingborg (Denmark) with delivery, deployment, installation and alignment of the required aids to navigation. The project included 26 marker buoys, leading lights, a solar power system, daymarks and a lattice mast.

​

Challenge

A new fairway in Vordingborg required a complete navigation marking system so vessels could enter and exit the channel safely. This required buoys and lights for a new leading line, with no existing land-based power connection available for the lights.

 

The marking solution had to be adapted to water depth, local conditions and the need for clear guidance on approach.

​

Solution

Maritim Consult deployed 26 buoys along the new fairway, selecting the 300/4 marker buoy to suit local water depth and conditions. A new leading line was also established, with the front light on an offshore platform and the rear light on land — both running on solar power via an NS100 leading light with SPB100 solar system, ensuring reliable operation 24 hours a day without any grid connection. The NS100 leading light has a high luminous intensity and low power consumption due to its LED light source.

 

Two aluminium daymark triangles, covered in reflective foil for daylight visibility, were added to the front and rear lights.

 

Maritim Consult handled the full scope: buoy delivery and deployment, plus delivery, installation and alignment of the leading light, triangles and mast.

 

Result

• Complete aids to navigation solution where marker buoys, leading lights and daymarks work together to guide traffic safely through the new fairway

• End-to-end delivery including deployment, installation and alignment

• Solar power enables leading lights without shore power

• Reduced power consumption with LED-based lights and solar power
