In the last decades, the research has directed its efforts and resources paper is to investigate
towards the possibility to incorporate wave energy converters, into the traditional maritime
breakwaters to combine classical use with new opportunities and developments (for
example, the Green Ports). Since the nineties, the OWC (Oscillating Water Column) plants
were developed at full scale to produce electrical power from ocean waves. For instance, a
new plant was built in Mutriku (Spain) recently. A new kind of OWC caisson, named U-OWC …

A new kind of OWC caisson, named U-OWC or REWEC3, which has the advantage to obtain an impressive natural resonance without any device for phase control, has been patented by Boccotti [1]. This new U-OWC device gives performances better than those of a conventional OWC either with small wind waves or with high waves [2,3,4]. The properties of the REWEC3 have been verified with two small-scale field experiments carried out in the natural ocean engineering laboratory NOEL of Reggio Calabria off the eastern coast of the Sicily Channel [5–7]. The aim of the present two sites along Italian coasts for possible installations of REWEC3 devices: i) the port of Civitavecchia (Rome, Italy)in the Tyrrhenian sea; ii) the port of Pantelleria, in the Sicily Channel.
