On the banks of Edvard Beneš in Prague, a boat docking station has arisen

Prague - The Edvard Beneš waterfront in Prague has a new mooring for boats. It is 480 meters long and can accommodate up to 15 boats. The site will also offer emergency mooring for four boats during floods, the spokesperson for the Directorate of Waterways of the Czech Republic, Václav Straka, announced today to ČTK. The construction, costing 65 million crowns, was funded by the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure (SFDI).
    A barrier-free pier has thus been created on the left bank of the Vltava River between Čechův and Štefánik bridges. "The opposite waterfront Na Františku has long been overloaded in terms of personal water transport. It is the most frequented section of the Vltava waterway in the Prague area. With the construction of the new mooring, we have solved this problem," said the director of the Directorate of Waterways of the Czech Republic, Miroslav Šefara.
    The pier will serve for supply deliveries, service activities, or waiting for passenger ships. It is designed to accommodate up to 15 boats approximately 35 meters long. Cabin boats arriving in Prague from all over Europe, which currently have no place to dock, can also moor here.
    The new mooring also includes emergency berths. In case of floods, up to four boats will be able to use them if they cannot timely sail to the protective ports of Smíchov and Holešovice. According to Straka, the vessels will be safely secured here even during floods comparable to those Prague experienced in 2002.
    Due to the construction of the mooring, construction companies had to blast the bottom of the Vltava River twice last summer. Subsequently, the builders installed steel structures designed for mooring vessels into it.
