At the beginning of summer 2014 Marinetek NCP performed an installation od anchoring blocks and soon after installation of floating pier in Rijeka port. This is the project of Port Authority Rijeka and 4,3 M kn worth investment, whose main goal is to increase the capacity of the mooring. Works on construction and installation of piers are successfully done by Marinetek NCP and BSK Commerce from Rijeka, whose joint offer was selected in public proceedings issued by Port Authority. 

The 80 m long floating pier is made of four breakwater pontoons type M3820BRS, each of which is nearly twenty meters long and three and a half meters wide, and should increase capacity of the mooring in the harbour for about 50%. 
Pier is bounded for massive coastal construction with cross chain link with inserted inox/rubber spring inserted in order to prevent larger movement of the piers. Pontoons are equipped with access bridges, cleats and service cabinets with double water and electricity plugs. On client`s request all pontoons have rubber fenders. 

Anchoring system consists of crossed-anchored lines made with Seaflex system, anchored to massive blocks of 99 tons, which will enable safe mooring of large vessels even during poor weather condition.  

The project of construction of the Batala communal port is very important for the city of Dubrovnik and it was necessary to develop a series of studies. The idea of building the Batala communal harbor started long ago in 2012, with the adoption of the urban planning when they started the conceptual solutions. After that, all the required permits and studies of the impact on the environment were completed, and finally they started with the whole project. Today, Batala is one of the most modern harbors in Croatia and is primarily intended for the local population.

The main idea was that Batala is organized on the principle of ports in historic centres. Dubrovnik is the city of world famous cultural heritage and beauty, one of the most attractive and famous cities in the Mediterranean . In the maritime world, it is well known that Dubrovnik is one of the first ports who began to cultivate the nautical tourism. This city is significant destination that goes through progressive growth and development phase, both of larger marinas and small harbours.

The total investment “weighed” was 12 million kuna, County Port Authority Dubrovnik loaned ten million kuna from the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development while 2 million kuna was cut off from its own funds.
Marinetek NCP as a contractor was responsible for the construction and supply of a total of 6 floating piers of a total length of 600 meters, with approximately 500 berths for boats owned by local people who have signed a contract with the County Port Authority. This valued project is among the few in Croatia that solves the problem of the constant demand of the local population for communal berths.

For ACI dd, which is certainly the most important company for nautical tourism in Croatia, Marinetek NCP in the period from 2008 till 2014 carried out additional construction and reconstruction of part or whole marinas in Rovinj, Pula, Pomer, Supetarska Draga, Skradin, Vrboska and Piškera. After almost two years of preparation and development of project documentation, at September 2014 finally began the reconstruction of one of the most important ACI marina in northern Adriatic, ACI marina Cres.

Reconstruction project included dismantling of seven existing piers which were in very bad condition, together with related anchoring systems, access bridges, service pedestals, water supply and hydrant installations, and of course their replacement with completely new pontoons and equipment. The project also includes reconstruction of fix breakwater and installation of new ninth pier. Contractors had to comply with one special request of investor and that is the successive replacement of one by one pier so that marina could provide uninterrupted service for whole time to all vessels situated in marina.
