22nt caisson installed for New Genoa Breakwater

• Caisson installed just 3 days after the previous one
• Work ongoing 7 days a week on a project combining innovation and offshore operations

Genoa, May 26, 2026 – Construction of the New Genoa Breakwater is progressing at a rapid pace. The installation of the twenty-second caisson has been successfully completed, just three days after the sinking of the twenty-first, confirming the strength of the execution plan implemented by the PerGenova Breakwater Consortium, led by Webuild, on behalf of the Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority.

Once completed, together with the Terzo Valico dei Giovi–Genoa Node Project—also being carried out by Webuild—the project will help ensure the central role of the Ligurian port in Northern Italy and European trade flows, strengthening its competitiveness and adapting its port system to the evolving dynamics of international maritime traffic.
