CHIOGGIA. Ships homeless. They return to entrepreneurs complain of maritime works of the “Consortium New Chioggia” for the lack of a safe berth to their return to the city. For 20 years, entrepreneurs ask the various local authorities and the harbor master to identify a site dedicated as exists in all other ports. Indifference, say, in contrast to their continued willingness to invest in the city, on the social as in sports. More than anger there is resignation in the words of the president of the consortium, Ivano Boscolo Bielo, back on a chronic problem now. «I don’t even know how to explain it more», says Bielo, «we raised the issue in any way, to all the mayors and in every occasion. It does not move anything. For 20 years we ask to moor in the city at least the equal of what we do elsewhere. Here there is no water space for us. We had a provisional authorization for the salons, but there the guard would cost € 65,000 a year, an unbearable cost. Every day we must invent moorings of luck and ask the staff to stay on board for safety reasons, of course paying overtime night».

The alternative is to moor outside, often in Malamocco, with more inconvenience for employees to be covered. «Ours is a leading sector of the economy», Bielo continues, «we employ 700 people, but we are considered very little». And despite the effects of the crisis, we continue to invest. This is demonstrated by the Zeta srl on Sunday, in Marghera, will usher in a new vessel, the Fabio Duò, cost 8 millions: made by yards Victory Adria, is 80 meters long, has a load capacity of 2,500 cubic meters and is equipped with a excavator of the latest generation. «By this means we can work in the Mediterranean», says Valentina Boscolo Zemello, legal representative of Zeta, «the crisis and the closing phase of the Mose require us to accept commissions too far from Venice. We hope that the market responds».

The ship will be transferred in early July in Porto Levante to complete the final details of construction. Then there will be tests and sea trials end. For its exceptional load characteristics will find immediate use in the Venice lagoon ideal for the great work of Moses. This is a boat called opening bottom (Hopper Dredger). It is able to perform a navigation Special without limitation. Its length, as they say entrance, over all is 81 meters. It is 16 meters wide.

Il Resto del Carlino – June 23, 2012

Liebherr has just announced that their first model of the HS 8300 HD, the largest duty cycle crawler crane of Liebherr’s well-known HS series, has been sold to the Chioggia (Italy) based customer Zeta S.r.l.
This piece of equipment will be installed on a ship for various dredging jobs in the Mediterranean Sea and it will be part of the equipment of a 41,000 ton heavy ship manufactured by Cantiere Navale Vittoria S.p.A, which can be classified as hopper dredger ship.
This ship is intended to maintain navigable waterways in the Mediterranean Sea, especially trough deepening those canals that are seriously threatened of becoming silted.
The strong upper-carriage of the HS 8300 HD is ideal for the high dynamic loads that have to be withstood during maritime operations like dredging. This not only means higher effective performance for the user but also reduced wear and correspondingly longer service life.
Mounted on a pedestal the crane has a weight of about 240 ton. It is equipped with a main boom of 41 mt and an underwater 2-rope hydraulic clamshell with a capacity of 20 m3.
For optimum performance the crane is fitted with two hydraulic free-fall winches offering approximately 50 ton of line pull each. The winches are outstanding in their compact design and easy assembly. The duty cycle crawler crane offers a maximum dredging depth of 25 mt with hydraulic grab and up to 200 mt depth with mechanical grab.
The dredging depth can be automatically pre-set, thus regulating the maximum depth and ensuring flat dredging.
Powerful hybrid drive Pactronic®
The HS 8300 HD is the first construction machinery of Liebherr to be equipped with the hydraulic hybrid drive Pactronic®.
This innovative hybrid drive based on hydraulics offers both economic and ecological advantages.
Surplus energy is stored and subsequently regenerated so increasing the material handling capacity while at the same time significantly reducing fuel consumption.
Both conventional V12 diesel engine offering 725 kW and the hybrid drive combined achieve a system power comparable to a conventional drive system with 1250 kW.
Apart from dredging the HS 8300 HD is suitable for a number of other material handling jobs like dragline operation or equipped with an orange-peel grab.

On dredge under construction at Shipyard Vittoria will be installed the first example of Liebherr HS 8300 HD

A crane was purchased for a record to be installed on a working ship Italian record. The game of words used to describe the acquisition, by the company Zeta Srl in Chioggia, the first unit of cranes Liebherr HS 8300 HD, hoisting machine specially designed for works of excavation and dredging of the seabed and channels. This crane, weighing 240 tons, an arm of 41 meters underwater and buckets of 20 cubic meters capacity, will be delivered in early 2016 for the installation of a new ship under construction at Adria (Rovigo) and predicted an investment of 3 million Euro. Zeta is a company able to provide services maritime works and coastal defense, environmental morphology, specialist works and dredging and excavation of canals and backdrops.
The ship in question is a unit of work (technically a dredger) under construction at the Shipyard Vittoria commissioned in late 2014 and expected delivery in the middle of next year. Valentina Boscolo Zemello, number one company chioggiotta Zeta, speaks of an “investment of about 12 million Euros that will bring our fleet of work in 11 units. Some of these are suitable to work in inland waters while others are built for use in various domestic ports and also in international waters”.
Zeta Srl will record this year a turnover of 9 million euro and has various means currently working in Northern Italy, especially in Venice where the Port Authority has requested assistance for the deepening of channels in Porto Marghera. The larger vehicles are used mainly in the Tyrrhenian Sea: La Spezia, Piombino, Genoa, Anzio and probably soon will be another port to serve Taranto where important start dredging.
About any additional investments after the new building nearing completion in Adria, the number one of Zeta seems to be cautious: “We will do it step by step. The first priority will be to look for a good employment contract for the ship as soon as it is completed”. Innovative aspect of the new flagship of Zeta will be the fact that “this means – yet precise Valentina Boscolo Zemello – in addition to dredge will also have a pump to vacuum and the material flow back. So we are assured also works not only nourishment and dredging of the seabed thus opening the opportunity to acquire attractive contracts for work in the first place on several beaches of the Adriatic”. Not only the latest addition to home Zeta will give further impetus to business across the border where, however, the company is already facing in recent times (especially in Morocco) in tow but other Italian clients.
The company’s family Boscolo Zemello calls itself “a reality able to make significant investments and support, and of building up assets and technologically advanced equipment in the field” and even the last investment “is the result of a company policy aggressive and targeted acquisition of additional market share and broadening the geographical scope of operations”.
