The Port of Tarragona has announced that it has begun work on installing the bollards on the Balears Wharf. A total of 33 bollards with a capacity of 200 tons each will be installed to provide mooring for the world's largest cruise liners.
The fenders, which are also being installed at a similar pace, and the bollards are the elements that "take the strain of docking and tying up the vessel," the port wrote. Thus, when a ship is slowly approaching in a berthing maneuver, the fenders absorb the momentum of the vessel as it maneuvers, protecting both the dock and the vessel when they come into contact.
In conditions of strong winds and waves, the fenders and bollards are responsible for absorbing the vessel's energy, especially when it tends to approach or move away from the dock.
Bollard o'rnatish bilan bir qatorda, port chekka nurning oxirgi metrlarini ham yakunlayotganini aytdi. Oxirgi qism allaqachon qolib aravachasi bilan betonlangan va faqat bir nechta qismlarni tugatish kerak. Bu kirish qiyinligi sababli qo'lda amalga oshiriladi, dedi port.
Tarragona porti ham kelajakda asfaltlash uchun tayyor bo'lgan yakuniy tuproq ishlari bilan esplanadani tayyorlashni boshladi. Dockni yoritish uchun birinchi chiroq ustunlari ham o'rnatilmoqda.
Yangi infratuzilma ishga tushganda, u ko'proq tashrif buyuruvchilarni va yaxshi sharoitlarda qabul qilish imkoniyatini oshiradi. 460 metrning 240 tasida ikkala tomondan bog'lash mumkin bo'lganligi va Llevant to'lqinlari maydoni ham qo'shilganligini hisobga olsak, uning umumiy uzunligi 700 metr bo'ladi.
All this means that double the number of cruise ships can dock simultaneously, the port explained, and that the world's largest cruise liners can be accommodated.
