Larnaca Marina up for redevelopment The long-waited EUR1.2 billion redevelopment of the 650-berth Larnaca Marina in Cyprus is finally due to start, following the approval of an environmental impact study in December, last year. The Build Operate Transfer (BOT) project by Kition Ocean Holdings will be carried out in four phases over 12-15 years. Once completed, the marina will accommodate vessels ranging from 5-150 metres and provide workshops, a yacht club, venues to hold functions and schools to teach sailing and diving. The BOT project will see the Government of Cyprus receive a fixed rent and a percentage of the revenue generated through a concession agreement operated on a 40-year lease, with the real estate acquired on a 125year lease.
