The fishing harbour in Kąty Rybackie is to get a new look. To this aim Antea Polska S.A. will develop a concept for the task entitled "Reconstruction of the "Kąty Rybackie II" fishing harbour in Kąty Rybackie (the commune of Sztutowo)" within the framework of the agreement signed with the Maritime Office in Gdynia.

The study will include three options for the reconstruction of the harbour along with a preliminary navigational and wave analysis.

Navigational analysis and wave analysis

The navigational analysis will focus on studying vessel traffic, water depths, main navigable waterways and meteorological conditions to ensure a safe approach to the harbour.

The wave analysis aims to understand wave patterns and their potential effects on the harbour. This will help to design appropriate protective solutions to minimise the impact of the wave action on the harbour infrastructure and ensure the safety of vessels.

Concept

The concept will include the following details:  

  • location of the quay along the southern natural boundary of the harbour for the maximum number of vessels possible, together with hardening of the area behind the quay  
  • a slip with hardened access in the western part of the harbour
  • lighting of the harbour 
  • energy consumption points
  • dredging of the harbour to the maximum possible depth 
  • dredging and widening of the approach fairway to the harbour to a width allowing two fishing vessels to pass each other 
  • fire-fighting conditions and water intake points
  • the parameters of the vessels using the harbour: length from 5.0 to 9.0 m; GT from 1.0 to 4.87; total tonnage from 2.5 t to 4.5 t

In addition, the study will include descriptions of the demolition work required, the phasing of the work, the estimated volume of the dredging work, the advantages and disadvantages of each option, their potential environmental impact, a preliminary cost estimate and indications for further necessary analyses and studies.
