Description
The sailing infrastructure in Lubuskie Voivodship in the west of Poland is rather poorly developed. The region''s largest body of water, Sławskie Lake, lacks a modern marina and shoreline infrastructure, making sailors from this and surrounding voivodships head to distant parts of Poland. Our project involves the construction of a recreation centre for sailors at Sławskie Lake, with 84 beds. The Training and Sailing Centre – Sława will operate a professional sailing school.
We will have the Centre building constructed and furnished, and the sailing pier equipped with a device for vacuum collection of wastewater from yachts, as well as electricity poles powered by FV panels. These will allow charging electric or hybrid yachts. A research institution will help us develop a system for notifying users of the completion of vessel charging and disposal processes, in order to optimise the use of marina space. The Norwegian project partner, International Development Norway AS, will provide consulting on waste management and the design of the marina charging station.
For our region the project means the introduction of modern services for yacht sailing, including above all the possibility of collecting wastewater, and supplying yachts with electricity. It will strengthen the local tourist market due to the year-round operation of the centre. We believe it is crucial to improve the cleanliness of the waters of Sławskie Lake, and the provision of a facility for collecting wastewater from yachts will reduce illegal discharges of waste into the lake. The FV installation used to power the Centre will reduce CO2 emissions by 32.27 tonnes and reduce annual electricity consumption by 0.04 GWh.
