ACCIONA, in a consortium with the Italian company RCM Construzioni, will build a breakwater to shelter the new floating terminal for industrial use at the Port of Ravenna (Italy).

The breakwater, which has a tender budget of €216 million, will consist of a vertical dock, built with concrete caissons; it will be 880 meters long and 22 meters wide.

The infrastructure will be located 8.5 kilometers from the coastline off Punta Marina, south of the Port of Ravenna, in the North Adriatic Sea, and has a completion deadline in 24 months.

The Port Authority of the North-Central Adriatic Sea will finance the works through a loan granted by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, one of Italy's leading development banks.
