Description

[0001] Base for a harbor and harbor

[0002] The invention relates to a base for a port and a harbor.

[0003] Ports, especially marinas, have several berths for boats.

[0004] In addition, harbors often serve to supply boats. This includes, for example, the provision of electricity, fresh water, wastewater removal, and / or fuel. This supply serves, on the one hand, to supply boats during their stay in the harbor and / or for past and / or future trips. In particular, this supply includes the refilling of fresh water tanks, fuel tanks, and / or boat batteries. Furthermore, this supply includes, in particular, the removal, preferably discharge or pumping, of wastewater from wastewater tanks.

[0005] Such supply to boats currently generally takes place at central locations in the harbors. This requires either laying supply lines, such as cables and / or hoses, or mooring at separate supply points. Central supply points are space-consuming, and / or the laying of lines is cumbersome, as well as posing a safety risk, such as tripping hazards and / or leakage.

[0006] A further disadvantage is that the boats are currently supplied with energy independently of consumption, meaning that the actual consumption cannot be recorded and, in particular, billed.

[0007] The object of the invention is to improve the supply of boats in harbors. This object is achieved according to the invention by a base according to claim 1 and a harbor according to claim 26.

[0008] The base according to the invention for a harbor, preferably a marina, is in particular a pontoon. The base is preferably a supply base, particularly preferably a supply pontoon. The base is preferably designed for connection, in particular fastening, to a jetty and / or a quay wall. The base has a platform. The platform in particular has a walkway for people to access. A receiving body is connected to the platform, in particular underneath. The connection between the platform and the receiving body is preferably form-fitting and / or force-fitting and / or material-fitting. It is possible, for example, for the platform to be connected to the receiving body in a removable or hinged manner. On the other hand, it is particularly possible for the connection between the platform and the receiving body to be designed as a single piece, also referred to as integral.The receiving body, in particular the base, is preferably designed as a hollow body. The receiving body, in particular the base, has a volume, preferably a receiving volume, of 1 m. 3 up to 10 m 3 , preferably from 2 m 3 up to 5 m 3 , particularly preferably from approx. 2 m 3The base has a boat supply arranged within the receiving body, in particular for the energy and / or water supply of a boat.
