The port of Toulon Darse Nord takes another step in its transformation with the delivery of the 'Quai de la Péniche'. This modernization project, led by Maribay Toulon Plaisance under the public service delegation from Métropole TPM, represents an investment of over one million euros. The goal is to enhance user safety, modernize port infrastructure, and prepare the port for future uses.
Work began at the start of summer, replacing two old, heavily degraded concrete pontoons. They have been replaced by new floating aluminum structures, offering greater comfort and safety for both boaters and port professionals. The project involved nearly 1,700 hours of work and required sawing and removing approximately 500 m² of concrete deck, dismantling over 1,000 tons of materials.
The construction included special attention to protecting the marine environment. A comprehensive environmental study, validated by competent authorities including the Direction Départementale des Territoires et de la Mer (DDTM) and Métropole TPM, ensured the work's compatibility with the site's ecological challenges.
The delivery of the 'Quai de la Péniche' marks a concrete advancement in the transformation program for the port of Toulon Darse Nord. This modernization is part of a broader ambition to adapt port infrastructure to user expectations and strengthen its integration into the territory's ecological transition and maritime development goals. Further significant developments are planned to continue modernizing this emblematic port in the bay of Toulon.
