In 2024, continuing the collaboration that began in 2021 with Siap+Micros, Resinex completed a significant supply of oceanographic buoys for the Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale (ISPRA). This supply aims to strengthen the Italian National Wave Network (RON), essential for real-time monitoring of sea conditions, with a specific focus on wave motion—an element critical for the safety and management of maritime and coastal activities in Italy.
The 2024 project saw the installation of 15 state-of-the-art oceanographic buoys, each weighing 500 kg and with a net buoyancy of 1000 kg.
Additionally, Resinex provided 330 jumper buoys weighing 3 kgf for mooring lines in depths of up to 100 meters. The new installations cover strategic points along the Italian coastline, including key locations for safety and environmental protection, such as Venice, Ancona, Ortona, Monopoli, Crotone, Catania, and others.
Thanks to these stations, the ISPRA RON network will be able to provide real-time data on wave direction and height, essential for managing coastal activities, protecting navigation, and conducting environmental monitoring of marine areas. Each buoy is designed to withstand even the most challenging conditions, as demonstrated in the video showing one of the buoys from the previous supply, installed in 2021. In this episode, a strong bora windstorm struck the Upper Adriatic, with waves up to 2.5 meters high, without damaging the buoy (The bora is a strong, cold wind from the northeast, common in the Adriatic region).
Once again, Resinex reaffirms its commitment to technological innovation and collaboration with public entities for the sustainable management and protection of marine resources.
