26 MARINA VISIT
Passantenhaven Doesburg, The Netherlands
O
wned and operated by the municipality of Doesburg, the 80-berth Passantenhaven
Doesburg in the city’s Turfhaven district has undergone considerable redevelopment since 2013, culminating in a major renovation project carried out by Infra Trading BV from November, 2015, until March, this year. The marina was created from
what was formerly an industrial harbour serving the Hanseatic town of Doesburg, which is situated on the right bank of River IJssel, at the confluence of the Oude IJssel in the province of Gelderland.
Doesburg was awarded city
rights as early as 1237 and its current inhabitants are proud that their city received this title 60 years before Amsterdam! It was the most important fortified city in Holland for a long time and its former prosperity is still visible in its beautifully restored centre and fortifications. As part of a larger city regeneration project, Infra Trading installed a
facility that combined a long walkway alongside the harbour quay, which also accommodates a campsite for caravans and motorhomes. The walkway, which is equipped
with finger piers, was constructed from System 21 modular pontoons manufactured by Walcon Marine Ltd. These utilise a galvanised steel frame with a hardwood deck supported on fibre concrete floats, a design that has been refined
and improved over many years of manufacture, implementation and testing. It is particularly suitable for marinas such as Doesburg with berths in sheltered waters. A large floating platform with
a total area of 441 sq m, also built from System 21, was installed for the use of people going on board the excursion boat that uses one end of the walkway for embarking and disembarking passengers.
