In the splendid military Arsenal of La Spezia, a treasure chest between the mountains and the sea, on June 5th at Seafuture 2023 Posidonia was happy to be present. Blue walkways and white gazebos in the shade of the superb ship Amerigo Vespucci which will go around the world twice.
It is a Mediterranean hub of the blue economy. The corporate convention for dual use maritime technologies.
It means that many of the technologies are designed for the civilian and military sectors. This is why the event was an excellent meeting point for Navy and Air Force , with 70 participating foreign delegations as well as with many shipyards and companies in the world. The event has been sponsored by Fincantieri, our historic client. At the show we consolidated our relations with the Navy , specially with the Admiral of Squadra Bisconti, who honored us with his attention as he did it already at Euronaval and Imdex Asia. Very important is the relationship that has been consolidated with the French Navy with which we have already been in close contact. A few other countries, especially European countries, have become interested in our mooring materials.
The double bollards Posidonia are born from a deep analysis of the most widely used international standards. We aimed to start from the 'simplest' and most linear one available: the NS (Norwegian Standard).
Thus came to life, after a thorough re-engineering of materials, thicknesses, and force distribution, the Posidonia bollards with the highest SWL in the world.
A prime example and highlight are the 350 bollards (diameter of the shaft, of the main tube).
A custom bollard (height customizable from 650 to 1058 mm), whose SWL values for mooring (with an 8-fold hitch of the line) are incredibly higher compared to ISO 13795 (+62%)!
When we compare towing values (with a single loop end), we find a 71% increase, always in reference to the ISO 13795 standard for the same 'size'.
Posidonia produces, designs, and manufactures its products in Italy, always considering how to minimize weight and improve load performance. Therefore: less deck space, lower weight, and higher performance approved by IACS (RINA).”
