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.
Summary of project results
The aim of the project was to create a year-round training center and a year-round recreation place for sailors in the town of Sława on Lake Sławskie (Lubuskie Province) and to create the only sewage collection point on Lake Sławskie - faeces from yachts and a point for charging yacht batteries with electricity from photovoltaic panels located on the roof of the building the resort.
The project will allow for rational management of natural resources, because the investment will be supplied in an innovative way with energy obtained from renewable energy, i.e. photovoltaic panels installed on the building. This technology will ensure the energy self-sufficiency of the facility and will contribute to building a competitive advantage on the demanding market of water and inland tourism. Customers will also be able to charge their batteries with "green" energy. Implementation of the project will increase employment, reduce CO2 emissions and reduce lake pollution.
The project was implemented based of the following activities:
1. Purchase of construction works and materials necessary to provide innovative services.
2. Purchase of fixed assets necessary to provide innovative services - 1 pc. Pump for waste collection.
3. Purchase of fixed assets necessary to provide innovative services - 2 pieces of a platform for charging
4. Purchase of fixed assets necessary to provide innovative services - photovoltaic panels.
5. Advising on the implementation of innovative services (Norwegian partner).
6. Purchase of fixed assets necessary to provide innovative services - 33 sets of room and apartment furnishings
7. Realization of development works by a research and development unit.
The aim of the project was to create a coherent year-round training and sailing center based on renewable energy sources, renewable energy, information technologies using the potential of the Lake Sława region. The investment was developed based on the idea of protecting waters against the harmful effects of water tourism provided in the port area and, consequently, on the lakes. We based the concept of new infrastructure on the principle of maximum water protection. It is part of a comprehensive concept for the development of the construction site, the use of renewable energy sources, equipping electric poles with adapters for charging electrically powered units, and a system for emptying toilets from yachts.
As part of the project, innovative services were developed and implemented, which will consist in:
- leisure with the possibility of learning the art of sailing or organizing sailing camps and schools (in the field of water tourism, including, among others, fishing lessons, culinary workshops, sightseeing workshops, events).
- charging electric units.
- emptying toilets from yachts, developed based on the idea of protecting waters against the harmful effects of water tourism provided in the port area and, consequently, on the lake.
All services are based on renewable, intelligent and mobile solutions.
The project will allow for rational management of natural resources, because the investment will be supplied in an innovative way with energy obtained from renewable energy, i.e. photovoltaic panels installed on the building. This technology will ensure the energy self-sufficiency of the facility and will contribute to building a competitive advantage on the demanding market of water and inland tourism. Customers will also be able to charge their batteries with "green" energy. Implementation of the project will increase employment, reduce CO2 emissions and reduce lake pollution.
The services will be directed to the market demand identified by the Company Owner - i.e. individual and group clients who will benefit from the implementation investment.
Summary of bilateral results
The scope of the planned cooperation included consulting in the implementation of innovative services:1) Advising on waste management in recreational sailing facilities.-Review of marina practices and solutions in donor countries-Review of practices and solutions in the field of vacuum sewage collection from floating objects-Advice on the preparation of the contract specifications-Advice on the development of a waste management strategycompliant with the principles of circular economy for the Marina VMotors recreational facility.2) Advising on the design of a charging station in the marina.-Charging station design for V-Motors.-Organization of solutions development and verification workshops in NorwayAs part of the activities described above, experience and know-how were exchanged. The cooperation had a positive impact of the development of the Company. The cooperation included support and technical/technological advice. Our contacts may continue, but so far there are no specific plans for further cooperation
