Pilotage Basin at the Port of Tarragona

T300 Floating Breakwater

T300 Floating Breakwater – Pilot Station at the Port of Tarragona
Efficient and sustainable solutions

The Port Authority of Tarragona turned to MSI to protect the pilot basin from the waves caused by the Mestral winds. The project involved the installation of a 3-meter-wide T300 floating breakwater, designed to ensure a sheltered and safe area for operations. The project replaces the original installation completed in 1996, which had performed optimally for years.
