Case

Maritim Consult delivered a complete AtoN solution to a major Danish port that needed reliable and maintenance-free marking for a new quay serving cruise ships and fishing boats. The solution combines pier lights, PEL lights, solar power and robust materials dimensioned for a demanding marine environment.

​

Challenge

A major Danish port needed to mark the breakwaters of a new pier serving cruise liners and fishing boats.

 

With 1.5 km to the tip of the pier, running cables would have been both costly and impractical. At the same time, the marking needs to withstand salt, wind and weather while ensuring high visibility for vessels during approach.

​

Solution

Maritim Consult designed the solution in close dialogue with the customer and delivered pier lights for both the inner and outer breakwaters, as well as port entry lights (PEL) to guide large vessels safely into port.

 

The pier lights were supplied with solar-powered batteries, eliminating the need for costly cabling. Battery capacity was calculated to account for winter darkness and the required visibility range, so the lights perform reliably year-round with optimal visibility.

 

All materials are surface-treated to withstand direct coastal exposure with salt-laden air and very high corrosivity (corrosion class C5), making the solution suitable for the harsh port environment and capable of supporting safe navigation for many years.

​

Result

• Tailored solution adapted to the port’s specific needs and designed in close dialogue

• Maintenance-free: Reliable marking with a robust design and low maintenance requirements

• Solar-powered lights reduced installation costs by eliminating the need for 1.5 km cabling and reduce ongoing operating costs

• Long-term durability in a salty, high-demand environment due to corrosion class C5 materials

• Designed for year-around visibility: Battery capacity was engineered specifically for winter conditions and required visibility range
