Cruising more comfortably?

As our January/February issue closes for press in December, the March/April issue is – from an editorial perspective – the first issue of each year. We mark the start to our calendar by launching our annual sister title Marina World Suppliers & Services and, as we are based in the northern hemisphere, look forward to the signs of spring and the advent of the new boating season.

Our first major must-attend event of every year is the International Marina & Boatyard Conference (IMBC), held in the USA as January nudges into February. As the world’s biggest annual ‘marina and boatyard specific’ conference and exhibition, many see it as a barometer of the US marina market. If this is so, record attendance and positive delegate feedback indicate that while not flying high, the industry is looking to cruise more comfortably.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the boatyard equipment sector where the purchase of upgraded boat hoists and transporters by operators from all over the world has witnessed a long awaited surge. Many new purchasing decisions are made to meet the needs of bigger, heavier vessels and thus broaden market reach and boost profits. Similarly, in the dockside sector, pedestals are being designed to meet more stringent standards and provide significantly more power than ever before.

The ‘more is more’ philosophy is driven by marina owners seeking to offer berth holders ever better facilities. Europe’s largest private marina operator, MDL Marinas, has announced plans to spend £20 million on its UK marinas in the second phase of a £34 million programme. It believes the move reflects greater optimism within the marine sector and general improvement in the wider economy.

This encouraging thought makes for a good start to the year but much depends on how the boating season pans out in the north and how new developments and refurbishment plans evolve south of the equator.

As always, for any marina owner or operator looking to create better facilities, there are good educational and networking opportunities ahead for everyone to learn more about market trends, new technology and best profit ideas. Check out our Diary Dates on p. 11. We hope to catch up with you at one or more of these events, and event updates and specifics can be found in the Training, Education & Certification feature in this issue.

South Dock investment UK: Southwark Council, London, has announced plans to refurbish South Dock Marina, a 203-year-old dock that is home to 130 residential boats.

The refurbishment programme will include replacement decking, new toilet and shower facilities and installation of a new electrical distribution and service network that will enable customers to monitor their usage and pay accounts online.

Oyster Point upgrades USA: Oyster Point Marina, a municipal marina that offers San Francisco boaters direct access to the bay, has upgraded its docks.

The marina’s old glue-lam timber pontoons at piers 8 and 11 have been replaced with Bellingham Marine concrete floating docks fitted with upgraded utilities and accessories.

Demolition started in January 2013 and guest docks on pier 8 were the first to be replaced. The new dock provides 156 feet of side-tie moorage and is accessed via a 90ft ADA gangway. Power and potable water are available on the deck for visiting boats.

Tolo Harbour plans on hold HONG KONG: Plans to develop Tolo Harbour Centre, a marina at Pak Shek Kok, won support from the Town Planning Board but have stalled due to lack of government policy guidelines.

The Board has called on Government to further study berthing demand and supply in Hong Kong and a tender for a consultancy study is being prepared.

According to Paul Zimmerman of Designing Hong Kong, a task force meeting on ‘water-land interface’ discussed space issues and a proposed Marine Department study. The study

being proposed for government funding (to start in April) is a territory-wide assessment.

The original proposal called for a 400 wet berth marina and 200 berth drystack.

According to current statistics from the Hong Kong Development Bureau, Hong Kong has 2,280 berths and boat ownership is increasing by 6% per annum.

Oyster Point Marina boasts 455 berths,

a boat launch, fuel dock and 300ft fishing pier. Other amenities include a 33-acre park with hiking and jogging trail, picnic area and beach.

The existing pier at dock 11 was replaced with a 332ft long main walkway with 24 single slips for boats up to 45ft. A match-cast 21ft x 79ft floating platform was built at the bottom of the new 80ft gangway to support traffic to and from the dock and provide additional mooring space.

Bayswater in land purchase NEW ZEALAND: Bayswater Marina on the North Shore, Auckland, has purchased the freehold title to reclaimed land it has leased since 2006. The owner, Simon Herbert, hopes to build a marina village on the site.

Enjoying enviable views of Auckland city from its position in Waitemata Harbour, Bayswater has a 415-berth Bellingham pontoon arrangement for boats of 10.5 to 45m in length and extensive berth holder facilities.

Herbert, who also owns Westpark Marina – the third largest in Auckland – believes the addition of a marina village will help secure the future for the marina and that inclusion of residential property will make such investment viable.

Debate regarding the use of reclaimed land for residential properties continues, as the land was not reclaimed for this purpose.

Hotel floats to Ocean Village GIBRALTAR: A luxury 142m long yacht hotel, Sunborn Gibraltar, is now in place in its new permanent home at Ocean Village Marina.

Ocean Village chairman, Gregory Butcher, extended a warm welcome to the floating hotel. “When we were contacted a year ago by a Finnish company hoping to bring a luxury yacht to Gibraltar, despite a clear need for five star accommodation, I had my doubts if would actually happen,” he said. “I am delighted to say that it did and, after extensive ground engineering works at the marina, Sunborn Gibraltar has become a prestigious addition to our complement of high profile tenants.”

Despite its length, the new hotel has resulted in a minimal loss of moorings and estate director, Neil Crawford, confirmed that it had opened the way for further improvements at the marina.

“We are now in the process of reconfiguring the pontoons to make the marina more efficient and create more berths,” he revealed. “We will also be building a fixed pontoon walkway directly across the water from neighbouring Marina Bay to Ocean Village.”

Designer building as nautical hub

SPAIN: Barcelona-based superyacht destination Marina Port Vell (MPV) has completed the platform for an architect designed reception building that will offer superyacht captains, crew and guests stylish relaxation and office amenities.

Incorporating Catalan cultural accents with architecture and interior design by Sergi Carulla and Oscar Blasco, the building stretches out into the sea on a fixed piled platform of 1,600m².

It measures 2,750m² and is cloaked in a white concrete skin.

The building, which also features 25 offices (for lease to complementary businesses) and terrace access, is planned as MPV’s own nautical hub within the broader Barcelona Nautical Cluster.

CMM to manage Biloxi Boardwalk USA: Coastal Marina Management (CMM) has secured a management contract for Biloxi Boardwalk Marina in Biloxi, Mississippi.

The marina boasts a number of high end amenities, has wet slips for boats of 28 to 70 feet and the largest drystack on the Gulf Coast between Orange Beach and Galveston, Texas.

CMM’s Scott Burt said the marina is in a “terrific location...very close to Mississippi’s exciting casinos” and represents a perfect fit for the company’s growing network of marinas.

MDL in £34 million marina spend UK: As a second phase in a long term investment programme, MDL Marinas has announced plans to invest a minimum of £20 million in its 19 UK marinas over the next five years.

New ‘Destination’ on Black Sea BULGARIA: Dinevi Marina, a private 300-berth facility situated in the northern part of Nessebar Bay, has joined ART Marine Marinas’ international ‘Destinations’ network.

Destinations marinas are located in the UAE, Singapore, Turkey, China, Bahrain, Malaysia, Thailand and Oman.

Bruno Meier, COO at ART Marine and head of its marina division, warmly welcomed the marina to the Destinations family. “I look forward to supporting the development of yachting

in Bulgaria and in the Black Sea region,” he said. “This marina network is not only about offering additional privileges to our berth holders but also aims to create stronger relationships and communication between the best and most exclusive marinas all around the world.”

Yacht Harbour and Port Hamble Marina.

Mercury Yacht Harbour is amongst many MDL marinas to enjoy recent improvements and has secured 5 Gold Anchors from TYHA.

MDL has already shown its commitment by investing around £3 million of capital spend across its estate each year, meaning that well over £14 million has been invested in its UK marinas since the start of the global recession in 2009. New plans take this to the next level in a move that the company believes reflects the general improvement in the wider economy and a growing level of optimism within the marine industry.

Over the past few months, a £650,000 redevelopment project has been completed at Wolverstone Marina, Ipswich, where Walcon pontoon and Rolec service pedestals were installed; refurbishment has completed at Shamrock Quay, Southampton; catamaran berths have been redecked at Sparkes Marina on Hayling Island; comprehensive maintenance work has been undertaken at Northney Marina and Hythe Marina Village; and improvements completed at Mercury

Consultants appointed for Wyndham AUSTRALIA: UK-based Marina Projects and independent consultant Phil Wardale of Auckland, New Zealand, have been engaged to provide marina consultancy services for Wyndham Harbour Pty in Melbourne.

Wyndham Harbour – a 73-hectare coastal community development on the northwest coast of Port Philip Bay – will include a marina with up to 1,000 berths, a 390 berth drystack, and residential and commercial premises.

Further to a lengthy approvals process, construction work began on site in 2010 and the southern marina breakwater and central spine works were completed early last year. The first phase of buildings is now well under way.

New marina to open at Deacons

UK: Work to rebuild the marina at Deacons Boatyard on the River Hamble, Hampshire, is nearly complete. The new berths should be available in April.

Walcon Marine worked with Deacons to finalise the design before building and installing pontoons for up to 119 boats of 8 to 12m in length. The project involved a reconfiguration of the pontoon arrangement and removal of pontoons that had been in place for up to 60 years.

To provide better access from both land and water, the original system has given way to walkways and finger pontoons and additional deep water berths that are accessible at all states of the tide. Walcon installed its allwelded, modular System 21 pontoons.

MARKET UPDATE: SICILY Marina di Riposta or Porto dell’Etna in Catania is a key marina. The snow capped volcano is in the background. there is a five-point mooring system.

Developments form part of Italy’s ongoing efforts to boost marina infrastructure despite a slow-down in market demand. Over the past five years, revenue generated from permanent long-term berth holders has decreased by 56% and annual berthing contracts by over 30%. In Sicily, the situation has been exacerbated by an increase of 600% in the cost of marina (port) concessions. This has now reduced to 400% and is still under discussion.

Plans progress despite occupancy challenges Sicily, the largest of Italy’s many islands, is popular with tourists and is an ideal stop-over for yachts en route to Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, the Adriatic and Malta. Island marinas are well established and constantly evolving. Donatella Zucca reports Aside from a stretch of industrial development on the Ionic coast, most of the coastline surrounding Sicily sits within natural park and protected land. The island has 89 port facilities, including 42 that are dedicated to leisure boats and are spaced no more than 30nm apart. Some have undergone or are undergoing renovation or expansion. Further projects are in the pipeline.

The existing marina infrastructure owes much to a plan conceived in 2001 to increase marina berths to a total of 8,000 but, despite quality standards, progress has been slow when compared to other areas in the Mediterranean. Marinas tend to be concentrated in urban centres in response to local demand and summer tourism but, on average, they are not close enough to major road networks or airports. Current projects aim to redress this.

Marinas of greatest interest include Marina di Riposto (Porto dell’Etna)

and Catania – which are located close to Etna – Messina, Milazzo, Marina di Portorosa and Taormina, where Giardini di Naxos Marina will soon open. Syracuse, Marzameni, Augusta Xifonio and Agrigento (Valley of the Temples area) boast Licata and Ragusa marinas, served by the airport at Comiso. Top notch marinas can be found in Palermo. These are close to the airport, the island of Ustica, the Aeolian Islands and Egadi, where

Financial factors understandably hamper progress. Ezio Rossi, who co-owns Porto Rossi in Catania, faces a delay to his plans for expansion. “It will not happen soon – for economic reasons,” he says. “We have a situation that prompts people to give up boating and berth ownership, even if they can afford it.” Evidence of this can be seen quite sharply to the south of the island where the coastline faces Africa. Marina di Ragusa and Marina Cala del Sole in Licata both have empty berths despite the fact that Ragusa is an important boating hub with many activities.

Elsewhere, however, work is in progress. Castellammare del Golfo (Balestrate) Marina is almost complete; St Francio Marina in Trepani, a Drepanum Shipyard project, progresses; and Portopalo di Capo Passero in Syracuse and Marsala Marina await public consents. “Plans are ready. The challenge is to be able to implement them,” says John Arnone, general director of Infrastructure Sicily, the department responsible for public

Occupancy at Marina Cala del Sole is currently quite low but the marina is popular for wintering foreign yachts.

MARKET UPDATE: SICILY

economic aid. “Something has been done but the private sector is stimulated by the use of public resources and these are becoming scarcer. We need to focus on facilitating private enterprise – the market is open and foreigners are also welcome.”

“We’re looking at marinas where there will be no foreclosure and where dedicated services cannot fail so long as an identity is established.” The length of each concession is determined according to the level of financial investment up to but not exceeding 99 years. For example, if a company invests €1 million, it will secure a concession of just a few years (not the average 40 years) but investing more in effect buys a longer lease. The Department of Environment & Land awards the state concessions.

Problems arise in Sicily, as in Sardinia, from poor planning and marketing. Italian development companies, often oriented at the top end of the yachting sector, have suffered from lack of a single authority of reference owing to the fragmentation of skills involved in developing the marina. In Sardinia, much fanfare was accorded to new marinas but inadequate consideration often given to transport links etc.

rebuilt and modernised. From Palermo to Catania, for example, it takes four hours by train and just two hours by car. Improvements are expected on the Messina-Catania-Palermo axis.”

Marketing also receives a boost as Massimo Procopio, director of the communication and event division of Marine Partners, explains: “Despite great potential, there is a lack of future vision and determination in Sicily to take full advantage of tourism.

Marine Partners will be responsible for communications during the various stages of work on Marina Capo d’Orlando in the province of Messina and for other marinas within the Marine Partners network. Capo d’Orlando has been financed by public funds to the tune of €7,416,000 (granted in 2006) and EU (Jessica Funds) of €12,608,471 and is expected to complete in 2015.

“Investment in the project is around €31 million, with a 60 year concession.”

“Normally, there are difficulties when starting a project,” Stanzione continues “but we work quickly and intend to complete Naxos in a year. We will then manage it.” Broader facilities are planned. “Taormina currently hasn’t the facilities for berthing cruise ships so we have integrated dedicated space for this on the breakwater.”

The marina will have 411 berths up to 40m and 33 for local use. Megayachts and cruise ships will moor up on the outer breakwater, which encloses an 82,590m² basin. There is ample space for service buildings and car parking.

Completion is scheduled for 2016.

“We are working on a strategic front. With the help of European Structural Funds, there will soon be finance available for the first section of a road that will speed up the connection between Victoria and Comiso Airport,” Arnone reveals. “In the future, however, the focus will be on the railroad; a network that must be Porto Rossi is a family-owned marina in Catania that will ultimately be expanded.

Marina Cala del Sole in Licata is a beautiful marina with over 1,000 moorings. Occupancy is currently quite low but private owners confirm that the marina retains popularity for wintering foreign yachts. Work is currently under way on an attractive associated housing development. The marina offers all modern shoreside facilities for visitors, owners and crew and enjoys proximity to the Valley of the Temples and Comiso Airport.

Porto Rossi in Catania was established initially by Peter Rossi in 1961 as a Mercury and Mercruiser Marine dealership. It is still family owned and caters for small (mainly

Marina di Ragusa is notable for its infrastructure and proximity to Ragusa, Modica and the World Heritage site of Scicli. The marina is renowned for its clean water, with a sophisticated system of draining and water purification, a sewage and wastewater pump-out. There are 723 berths for boats up to 50m, a fuel station and shipyard with covered shed and 160 tonne boat hoist.

Consolidating global business UK-based Rolec Services is significantly boosting its service network on an international basis. Managing director, Kieron Alsop, confirms that the company is currently in negotiations with a number of potential partners to open Rolec service centres in six key regions in the world.

The first, which opens in Dubai next month (April), is strategically located to support over 70 marinas and waterfront locations in the Middle East that currently have Rolec equipment. It will offer a variety of services, including: stocks of components and equipment; emergency call-out; annual service and support contracts; and general advice and assistance. The centre boasts a full product showroom and is supported by trained sales and design engineers, and trained installation and maintenance engineers.

“The service centres will provide both existing and new customers with the confidence that Rolec can provide a cost effective after sales service as well as general advice and support on all things related to marina services,” Alsop explains. “Following on from the first service centre in Dubai, we expect to have the second centre – in South East Asia – up and running in the near future, with a further four to follow during 2014/15.”

Recent orders in the Middle East and S E Asia underscore the importance of the first two service centres.

Further to delivering five MegaMaster units to Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi believed at the time to be the world’s largest marina services units - Rolec is now manufacturing an even more powerful MegaMaster for a private island marina in Qatar.

Designed and manufactured in the UK factory, the unit measures 2,500mm x 3,000mm x 1,000mm and will service a luxury superyacht measuring around 125m in length. It will offer 250 amp, 400 amp and 2,000 amp three-phase electrical supplies complete with kW/ hr meter, amp meter, voltage meter and phase indicators. It will also provide 1

inch and 2 inch water supplies and LED amenity lighting, and will be equipped with removable crane lifting eyes for ease of installation.

In S E Asia, Chinese eyes will be on a range of Spinnaker pedestals installed at Dalian Marina in the north eastern province of Liaoning; part of a complex designed to host the 12th Chinese National Games and the venue for the 6th China International Boat Show.

Rolec supplied over 60 Spinnaker electricity, water and lighting pedestals complete with SmartCard Management,

In-built protection TDI Products, US manufacturer of Ensign dockside units, is offering in-built ground fault protection in its pedestals. Marketed as ‘protection in the pedestal’, the option enables US marinas to comply with National Electric Code (NEC) 555.3 by having Square D Q0 style GFCI breakers installed.

“We have recently completed two marinas with the ‘protection in the pedestal’. One was a new marina and the other a marina damaged

by Hurricane Sandy,” confirmed TDI president, Tom Caldwell. “In both cases, the local and state electrical inspectors allowed and were very pleased to see the protection.”

The new option further enhances the benefits of Ensign pedestals, which include high terminal connections (options up to 4ft high), LEDs as standard and multiple combinations of 100, 50, 30 and 15 amps. Shipping of spare parts is swift. In addition to standard configurations, dockbox power centres and post/piling units are available.

“We are delighted to have been chosen to design, manufacture and supply the service pedestals for the new Dalian Marina, which gives us an indirect association with the Chinese National Games,” Alsop says. “As a world leading specialist in marina services, we look forward to being part of this exciting new Chinese marina industry and will be exhibiting our full product range at the Shanghai Boat Show in April.”

Seijsener, which claims to install around 90% of all marina pedestals in its home market in the Netherlands, has a solid reputation for quality, offering units that usually last in excess of 20 years. Over the years, the company has installed many pedestals in cold climates, such as Norway, and where UV rays are harsh – New Zealand. The units for Dubai have been designed to set new standards in the region.

Caribbean marinas reduce carbon footprint Pedestals designed and manufactured by Dockside Power have been installed in first phase projects for Bay Street Marina, Nassau, Bahamas and Christophe Harbour Marina, St Kitts, West Indies.

Bay Street Marina, which accommodates vessels of 30 to 200 feet in length, has power ranging from 120/240V single phase for smaller vessels to 200 amp 120/208V threephase, 100 amp or 200 amp 480V three-phase for the largest.

Power supplied for the larger slips at Christophe Harbour (for vessels of 250 feet and above) is 400 amp three-phase 480V, 400 amp 120/208V three-phase – and single phase for smaller vessels.

Dockside Power has incorporated power monitoring into each system to enable the marina manager to control power and water at every slip from a computer or iPad. This also calculates all usage for billing purposes and can be operated by WiFi, fibre or Ethernet cable.

The ability to turn power off promptly eliminates wide electrical loss thus enabling both marinas to reduce their carbon footprint.

“A fishing pontoon developed specially for the professionals” The fishing port of Saint-Cast is home to about twenty traditional fishing vessels. Their main catch is scallops, but it includes various other species, such as whelks, clams and assorted types of fish. The pontoons are matched to the tidal coefficients and are subject to heavy stress in everyday use. They are very easy to clean and for all practical purposes are now part of our working equipment! Major works have been carried out in the harbour in order to install a fishing pontoon as part of the port’s redevelopment. Poralu Marine has worked side by side with us from the very beginning of the design phase, at the same time taking account of the strength and solidity constraints for the materials associated with their daily use.

Easy-fit dock lights Deep Glow Underwater Lighting has released an updated version of its best-selling underwater dock light.

The new model eliminates the ballast box on the dock.

Brad Ball, Deep Glow CEO, praised his product development team, saying “while the original design was fantastic, this really allows for greater flexibility and cleaner installation because distance from the source of power is no longer a factor and combining multiple lights is easier than ever.”

Deep Glow has customers in nearly every US state and over 30 countries worldwide and, although the primary market has been the waterfront homeowner, company president Kevin Ahearn reports sales growth in new areas. “Our commercial project business is growing substantially including marinas, dry docks and entertainment venues,” he says.

More innovation is to follow as the company prepares to launch new mounting brackets that will enable lights to be vertically suspended below docks.

PLANNING & DESIGN FOCUS

Making the ordinary extraordinary In a world where the brand name is king, Camper & Nicholsons has an enviable pedigree. Now, with a new ‘Club’ initiative that promotes quality, and a fresh approach to marina design, Camper & Nicholsons Marinas (C&NM) is in the midst of a sea change. Carol Fulford spoke to sales and marketing director, Kurt Fraser.

With ‘exclusive’ embossed on every Camper & Nicholsons was founded entry criterion, the 1782 Club will in the UK in 1782 and is undoubtedly become a worldwide network of up to one of the oldest and most respected 20 marinas over the next five years. leisure marine brands in the world. It’s They will complement each other a brand to conjure with, and for Kurt geographically and fit well with marinas Fraser – with extensive experience in the C&N portfolio. in high end property and resort “The 1782 Club is to become the development, and consequent high first branded, worldwide marina club, brand awareness – it has magical offering a wide selection of berthing potential. Fraser is the brainchild options and privileges,” Fraser explains. behind the 1782 Club, a C&NM marina “On one hand, creation of the 1782 marketing concept officially launched in Club is about a desire to partner with February this year.

Cesme Marina, Turkey, offers 400 fully serviced berths for yachts up to 60m (200ft) in the stylish setting of a purpose-built marina village.

Port Louis Marina in Grenada, West Indies, offers 170 berths for vessels up to 90m (300ft) in length. It is ideally located for cruising the beautiful waters of the Grenadines.

Kurt Fraser: “We seek to understand the emotional touch points of our customers and get to the essence of how they will get the best experiences in our marinas.” proudly independent marinas, each of which is passionate about promoting their respective destinations, facilities, lifestyle amenities and exacting service standards. On the other, it is about helping our discerning yachting clientele seek out exceptional new experiences, in remarkable destinations, coupled with a seamless, high standard of service.”

Marinas join the Club on an invitation-only basis. They are selected with great care, must meet the highest standards and must have at least some superyacht capacity. Destination appeal is paramount but marinas can be fundamentally different in size and scope. They must also be complete, not ‘under development’ as “they need to have a history of success”.

First off the mark The first marina to join the 1782 Club was Porto Montenegro, the luxury yacht homeport and marina village in the Adriatic. Sani Marina on the Kassandra Peninsula in northern Greece was second, offering top facilities and access to a wide range of luxury amenities in its associated resort, and Athens Marina swift to follow as number three.

PLANNING & DESIGN FOCUS private yacht harbour with a strong track record for hosting superyachts.

As Club members, marinas receive the endorsement and use of the C&NM logo, share the benefits of the C&NM network and its international PR and social networking efforts, and can exhibit at boat shows and other events under the C&NM umbrella. All member marinas pay a fixed annual fee, “the value of which greatly exceeds the cost” and are subject to annual quality audits.

C&NM’s existing marinas will actively participate in cross promotional activities alongside 1782 Club members to enable yachts to cruise between them and enjoy consistency of service. Marinas include the newly developed Limassol Marina in Cyprus, Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi, Porto San Rocco in Italy and C&NM owned facilities: Grand Harbour Marina, Malta; Cesme Marina, Turkey; and Port Louis Marina, Grenada.

Designs to Club standards

As well as implementing a top quality selection process for the 1782 Club, C&NM is well positioned to help marina developers achieve the level of success requisite of a marina of 1782 Club standard.

Well known fact; C&NM designs marinas.

Lesser known fact; it does it differently.

“We aim to transform the ordinary into something ‘extraordinary’. It takes a different way of thinking; a market-led approach,” Fraser asserts. “We seek to understand the emotional touch points of our customers and get to the

essence of how they will get the best experiences in our marinas.”

Work starts with sound market intelligence so the design team is creating a marina perfectly aligned to the target market then progresses to the technical and operations teams for their input and modifications. Teams work on wide ranging consulting from private individual projects to comprehensive marina and resort style developments.

Armed with market knowledge and creative ideas on how to achieve the correct destination appeal, the ideal berth mix takes shape, with optimised water space to match the immediate and long term target market. With a keen eye on pricing, C&NM helps deliver maximum occupancy while maintaining profit margins, and aims to help the business mature as swiftly as

Set against the background of a UNESCO World Heritage site, Grand Harbour Marina, Malta, offers upscale services and is perfectly positioned in the centre of the Mediterranean. possible into an asset-rich facility.

As both designer and operator, C&NM is also well placed to provide turnkey marina management services for both newly built and existing marinas.

In development terms, C&NM’s most exciting ongoing projects are Limassol Marina in Cyprus and Canouan Marina in the Grenadines.

Limassol is a ‘lifestyle by the sea’ marina with berthing for vessels up to 115m, exclusive restaurants and shops. Canouan is a highly exclusive marina and enjoys idyllic privacy on a small Caribbean island. Scheduled to open later this year, Canouan will provide luxurious amenities to support a dedicated superyacht basin for 110 yachts of up to 110m in length.

Both projects perfectly reflect the C&N Marinas ethos in terms of destination appeal and quality services, and the company will doubtless design more of the same in future years. There is, however, a sense of shift.

“Based on a platform of marina design and operational excellence, we see ourselves emerging more and more into a marketing and services business,” Fraser reveals.

Registration opens for PIANC Congress IMCI celebrates 20 years...

Registration is now open for the PIANC 2014 World Congress, to be held in San Francisco, California, USA from 1st to 5th June 2014.

Guests at the IMCI anniversary gathering enjoyed a boat tour of Valetta Harbour before convening for the summit.

The International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) has celebrated its 20th anniversary. The occasion was marked by a special summit in Valetta, Malta, during which guests were able to enjoy the scenic, cultural and culinary highlights of the island.

IMCI managing director, Ulrich Heinemann (left), spoke at the celebration dinner about the history of IMCI and its rise to become the marine certification body for Belgium. “IMCI’s success is due to a great group of

enthusiastic people and expert work,” he said.

Participants included IMCI directors, inspectors and head office staff, and partners and friends.

The Board of Directors and Inspectors Meeting took place in the days prior to the celebration when all necessary inspectors’ audits were carried out.

...and updates ‘Experts’ programme

The congress will include:

• 260 technical presentations

with speakers from 30 nations covering a wide range of topics including dredging, environment, global, inland, ports and recreation

• Two plenary sessions • Six pre-congress technical short courses

IMCI has updated its existing 12-year-old programme for the Certification of Experts in the boating industry by seeking accreditation from BELAC for quality management certification under EN ISO/IEC 17024:2003.

Upon receipt of an application, IMCI reviews the personal and professional qualifications of the expert. After a positive assessment and determination of the expert’s area of interest, he or she can sit an examination (subject areas are fixed and can be viewed on www.imci.org).

The exam takes place in Belgium and is computer based with multiple-choice questions. Books and Internet access are allowed as reference aids. Upon successful completion, a certificate is issued. This is valid for five years but

subject to annual reviews and annual training. After five years, the certificate must be revalidated.

The current certificate, which is based on EN 45013, expires on 31st December this year. Experts who are already following the IMCI Quality Manual (QM 2.3) for EN 45013 have the opportunity to adopt the new programme and need not undergo further testing.

Growth for IMBC...

The 12th annual International Marina & Boatyard Conference (IMBC), held on 29th to 31st January in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, saw a 12% increase in numbers, making it the most successful event in five years. There were over 140 exhibitors and total attendance was around 700.

“The numbers this year show that people are enthusiastic about the new content and interactive tools, such as the Marina Design Course we ran with the American Society of Civil Engineers and the visual trends board on the exhibit hall floor,” commented Jeff Rose CMM, chair of IMBC organiser Association of Marina Industries (AMI).

“It is also clear to me that the economy is beginning to rebound and that IMBC is the place for continuing education,

meeting with industry suppliers and networking with other marina professionals,” he added.

The 2014 event also included new product demonstrations at exhibitor booths. The Marina Design & Engineering breakout track comprised over 25 educational seminars including six hands-on workshops.

IMBC returns to Tampa, Florida, in 2015 and will be held 28th to 30th January.

Further information is available on www.marinaassociation.org/IMBC

Revamped KYC earns 5 Anchors

Recently upgraded Kinsale Yacht Club (KYC) in the heart of Kinsale town on the beautiful southwest coast of Ireland has been awarded 5 Gold Anchors by The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA).

The marina offers the single largest number of visitor berths in Ireland with 150m of mooring space.

It also caters for deep draft vessels and can thus welcome superyachts. In 2013, KYC completed major clubhouse renovations and now offers in-house dining and an extended balcony overlooking beautiful Kinsale Harbour.

KYC is just 20 minutes from Cork International Airport, 120nm from

Wales, 240nm from northwest France and 500nm from the Galician coast of northern Spain.

The town of Kinsale was recently announced as the starting point of a new initiative called ‘The Wild Atlantic

Way’. This is set to be Ireland’s first long-distance touring route, stretching along the Atlantic coast from West Cork to Donegal. KYC is poised to play an important role for all who intend to cruise the coastline.

Join leading professionals from around the world to explore advances in waterborne transport infrastructure.

Large lift orders for Cimolai

Cimolai Technology has recently delivered a 260 ton boat hoist and 100 ton boat transporter to Palmarina Yalikavak in Turkey and a 160 ton hauler and 100 ton transporter to Yatlift Marina in Bodrum.

The machines were tailor-made to the individual requirements of the marinas and handle both sailing and motor boats. The variety of boat sizes at the marinas called for customisation and Cimolai responded by enabling the 100 ton trailers to vary their width, making it possible to transport catamarans.

These additions are the latest in a slew of orders for Cimolai, an Italian company that specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of customised lifting and transporting equipment for marinas, ports and shipyards. A 400 ton hauler was destined for another Turkish customer as Marina World went to press.

The company is also active in the USA, having recently installed a 320 ton capacity boat hoist in the Riscoli shipyard in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. The hoist includes a special steering system that considerably increases the storage capacities at, and efficiency of, the site.

Two further boat lifts have been commissioned for the eastern Caribbean area. The company’s eleventh 820 ton hauler is currently in its final phase and will be delivered to a Greek shipyard soon.

Gruissan Marina offers sustainable tour options Gruissan Marina in the south of France is pioneering a new approach to sustainable tourism in the form of “The Odyssea Protect Eco-station”, a tour-guide-cum-electric-car. The concept was unveiled at the Paris Boat Show last December.

For tourists arriving by boat who wish to visit the surrounding environs of the marina, Gruissan will provide zeroemission electric cars capable of charging to full capacity in just 30 minutes. The vehicles feature a pre-recorded cultural itinerary and spoken commentary that starts when a point of interest is reached.

Alternatively, tourists have the option to hire a GPS, smartphones or tablets to accompany their tour.

The route available at Gruissan links the

44

port to the hinterland, driving to the Cathar castles via Narbonne and other sites.

The Nissan leaf vehicle is “an answer to new demands in tourism,”

says Jean-Claude Meric, general manager of the Gruissan resort. According to him, “eco-friendly transportation has gone beyond its functional dimension to become part of an innovative and appealing tourist experience.” The Odyssea fleet of vehicles will, he hopes, encourage sustainable and green modes of transport.

The concept will be trialled in a dozen ports with the aim of offering a global service. The Eco-station will be operational by spring 2014.

It can Wise Handling, has a be operated remotely for greater lifting capacity than more precise yacht handling the equipment previously

and movement around the marina’s extensive yard facility.

The decision to invest in capital equipment arose in direct response not only to increased demand at the marina for higher capacity lifts but to a sense of a new, wider optimism within the UK marine industry in the Solent region and beyond.

Richard Burlington, general manager at Universal, explained: “Our old hoist had a top lift capacity of just 60 tonnes. We are now working with some very large yachts and motorboats and we fully expect our business in this sector to increase steadily over the next three to five years. Investing in a piece of equipment of this size and value is clearly a significant undertaking, at £170,000, but there is a very real need for increased capacity here and we absolutely must move with the market.”

The new investment was

initiated by Universal Marina owner and managing director, Avia Willment. “We are driving the business forward at many levels,” Willment enthused. “This is just one of a chain of carefully planned investments. Others include a new coffee shop facility which opened in spring 2013 and a restaurant and bar is planned for 2014 along with a series of events designed to add value for our berth holders and tenants. We are positioning Universal as a first class, full service facility and we are ready to meet the challenges and enjoy the opportunities that our industry will face over the next five to ten years.”

The hoist arrived at the marina in several separate pieces at the start of December 2013 and it took five days to assemble and test the equipment and train the marina operations team.

It is now fully functional and operating five days a week.

A new Marine Travelift 75 BFM11 mobile boat hoist with top beam extension is now in service at Orams Marine Services, the full-service boat building and repair facility in Auckland, New Zealand, that complements adjacent Westhaven Marina and the Orams Marine Village drystack operation.

Projects (NZ) Ltd. “We ended Orams took delivery of the up assembling the machine machine in August 2013 to with the three-foot top beam replace a 30-year-old hoist extension on Day One. They and it was assembled and are already enjoying the fully operational complete with benefits of lifting the bigger top beam in early September. boats they previously couldn’t “Between the time Orams accommodate and were ordered the new machine able to save time and money and when it was delivered, ordering it with the machine.” they had made the decision “The top beam extension to proceed with widening has been fantastic,” Orams the lift-out dock,” explained managing director, Craig MT dealer, Malcolm Fisher, Park, confirmed. “It has managing director of Marina

opened a new market for us that previously we wouldn’t have been able to consider.”

Another important option Park was keen to secure was two-speed hoist. This is critical for high-duty cycles as lifts can be accomplished at roughly twice the standard speed with no load.

“The new MT 75 BFM11 has a number of new features which Orams never had on its old one,” Fisher noted. “Both sling sets adjustable fore and

aft, the ability to lift the lower blocks to a higher level, all the modern technology.”

Park confirmed that the machine has performed perfectly to date. “We’re surprised that even when lifting vessels of more than 60 tons, the machine hardly even changes tone. It simply performs exactly how it’s supposed to,” he said.

Open ocean anchorage points Poralu Marine subsidiary, Nautiscaphe, has installed a new economical and ecologically friendly ocean yacht mooring system off the protected Cove of Corton in the Bay of Cassis, France.

Lighter, stronger fingers Green Bay Systems, together with Swedish company Compositteknik Norr, has developed a unique finger pontoon system using composite materials that it claims are lighter and stronger than aluminium.

The system is suitable for sports and leisure boats up to 30 feet on lakes and in shallow waters.

CEO Odd Christian Sandengen conceived the idea in response to the industry’s need for an aesthetically pleasing but functional finger pontoon that was not susceptible to fouling and rust in the ocean environment. Green Bay Systems was founded in 2010 in Norway with the aim of developing a system that was safe, stable and easy to handle and install.

The docking system, manufactured using the same technology as glass fibre boats, is designed to withstand harsh, icy conditions. The floater can be filled with environmentally-friendly foam in order to prevent cracks and damage caused by rough handling or accidents. To avoid rust problems on steel when exposed to sun and salt, all hinges and pulleys are made from stainless steel 316L or equivalents. The materials used also prevent the sound of steel scraping against steel when the boat is docked.

As safety is a priority for many marina owners, the system has a telescopic ladder at the end of each finger to ensure peace of mind in case of a slipping accident. Green Bay fingers are also equipped with an anti-skid deck and an optional box at the top for safety equipment and a rope.

Constructed from locally sourced, environmentally friendly materials

by Compositteknik Norr AB, which manufactures and markets the product in Scandinavia, the system is easy to install and eliminates the need to “waste time on heavy lifting and unnecessary maintenance and repairs.”

The industrial version of the product was launched last autumn, with sales expected to begin in the 2014 season. Green Bay is seeking international partners with experience in boat building or other composite products and is open to discussing marketing and business possibilities.

www.marinaworld.com - March/April 2014

The contract was awarded in response to a call for tenders for yacht mooring on screw anchors initiated by the residents of the town of Cassis when they realised their protected ecosystem was in danger from a high concentration of boats. Nautiscaphe, a specialist in environmentally safe anchorage systems, won the tender as it had previously installed its patented underwater anchorage system, the Ellipse, for ecological mooring - albeit not in the open ocean.

Despite its lack of experience in ocean mooring, the company successfully installed two anchorage points, at 8.60m and 16.60m respectively from the seabed, to accommodate 24m boats weighing approximately 55 tons.

Nautiscaphe’s ‘ocean yachting anchorage’ is designed to moor a single craft. A hot galvanised steel structure, consisting of several of its interlinked ‘Ellipses’ is screwed vertically to the seabed.

The mooring line consists of elastic fender, rope and a chain kept under permanent tension in deep water by a sub-surface buoy, which takes up the weight of the line to eliminate contact with the seabed.

On the surface, a large buoy, known as the ‘mooring post’, serves as a mooring point for the boat and also compensates for traction stresses by providing resistance when there is movement in the water. Solar energy lamps on the surface of the mooring posts guide users at night.

Nautiscaphe manager, David Augoyard, explained the key benefit: “This ecological system completely removes the phenomenon of chain chafing and thus preserves dozens of square metres of marine flora.”

Hydrosphere turns hazard lighting on its head Hydrosphere, a leading supplier of aids to navigation in the UK and Ireland, has launched the Vega VLB-67 LED obstacle and bridge marking light that shines down upon hazards.

The light – available in IALA recommended colours red, green, white, yellow and blue – is an extension of its existing Vega LED beacon range but was designed specifically for use in applications where a beacon mounted upside down would be more useful in marking hazards.

day and night transition level settings synchronisation control (including master/slave options and sync delay).

The light has a beacon spread of 10° at 50% peak intensity and a range of programme capabilities, including 246 flash characters, multiple effective intensity settings and storage, test or normal operation.

The VLB-67 is available as a selfcontained unit with a long-life GEL lead acid battery capable of charging in temperatures as low as -20°C. Alternatively, a solar power pack with a large solar option is available for use as a stand-alone unit, allowing the light to be mounted separately.

The light also supports the standard features found on Vega LED beacons, including automatic Schmidt-Clausen intensity correction for short flashes, multiple effective intensity settings, and

Functionality is extended through a waterproof cavity in the base, which can be used to fit a power supply on the stand-alone unit creating a mains powered lantern.

The beacon meets all the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) for Type A and B obstacle lights and has a design life of 12 years.

The Vortex Hose Reel by EMP Industries is by far the best pump out hose cart I have used in my 20 years managing marinas.

Large tires to get over obstacles and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very easy to coil the hose on and off. Built in remote on/off control at any slip in the marina.

I would recommend any marina operator to get this product.
