International marina network IGY Marinas has partnered with Aqua superPower to bring electric marine charging to Sardinia. The partners will install an Aqua 75 marine fast charger at IGY Portisco Marina.
Electric charging infrastructure
Aqua’s smart networked supercharger enables users to recharge in just 20 to 90 minutes. The addition of Aqua superPower’s charging infrastructure at IGY Portisco Marina is intended to enable multiple electric boating day trips to the protected Maddalena Islands, located 20 nautical miles to the north. This installation follows the deployment of two Aqua 75 chargers at IGY Vieux-Port de Cannes.
Bolstering IGY Portisco Marina’s sustainability
IGY Portisco Marina has 589 berths capable of accommodating vessels up to
90m. Situated at the gateway to the iconic Costa Smeralda, the marina offers solar thermal panels, 100% renewable electricity and dedicated waste recycling systems. The marina also uses water/oil separators to prevent contamination and provides floating booms and dispersants to address oil spills, ensuring quick action to protect marine ecosystems. These initiatives reduce carbon emissions, conserve resources and prioritize pollution prevention, setting a new standard for environmental stewardship.
“We are excited to continue our collaboration with Aqua superPower to bring cutting-edge sustainable solutions to our marinas,” said Adrian Grijincu, general manager at IGY Portisco Marina. “The installation of the Aqua 75 at IGY Portisco Marina reflects our ongoing dedication to providing forward-thinking solutions for sustainable yachting while maintaining the high standard of service our clients expect.”
Karen Gill, chief operations officer at Aqua superPower, enthused, “We’re proud to expand our relationship with IGY Marinas and deliver our marine fast-charging technology to IGY Portisco Marina. This installation represents a crucial step in advancing sustainable boating in the Mediterranean, enabling electric vessel owners to explore this beautiful region while reducing their environmental impact.”
