GMM启动斐济Nawi Island码头及超级游艇基地项目

GMM近日获得斐济萨武萨武Nawi Island新码头及船厂的运营管理权。

Nawi Island有限公司董事总经理Michael Gann在签约后表示：”很高兴能在这一关键阶段与GMM达成合作，特别是在Bellingham Marine公司已宣布将于2020年1月开始码头施工的重要时刻。”

GMM董事长Andrew Chapman CMM表示：”能够参与这一超级游艇码头项目令人振奋。我们已根据当前到访斐济的船舶类型数据、区域停留时长及巡航需求特点，对设计方案进行了全面评估。”

Nawi Island码头与超级游艇基地将配备130个现代化泊位，其中包括19个可停泊85米长超级游艇的专业泊位。该工程采用抗飓风设计，确保船舶可全年停泊。

Fiji is expecting a significant increase in the numbers of Superyachts visiting over the next few years because of the Americas Cup regatta in Auckland and the specifically designed facilities at Nawi Island will help to accommodate the shortfall.

The marina design and facilities being planned onshore to support the visiting yachts will be aimed at a high level of service to meet the needs of the crews and owners whilst in port.

With a significant investment in fuelling infrastructure large volumes of fuel will now be available in Fijis northern cruising grounds at the dock when needed allowing for high flow bunkering at the Superyacht berths and International standard fuelling facilities for all visiting vessels at the dedicated floating fuel dock.

Plans to develop a resort with health spa will complement the Yacht Club and restaurant facilities that will be constructed parallel with the marina.

Chapman says they expect to have facilities available to accommodate yachts from May 2020 and will be looking to build alliances with other yacht companies and marinas in the South Pacific to ensure that we offer an outstanding network to keep the yachts cruising in the South Pacific longer ahead of and after the Americas Cup regatta.

GMM are very focussed on protecting the environment and will make sure all efforts are made to implement management strategies that will minimise impact, and enhance the great initiatives that the Nawi Team are currently working on in Savusavu.

The shipyard facility that will be built to service the visiting yachts will be constructed on a separate site nearby allowing the beautiful Nawi Island Marina to be free of the boatyard activity.

The shipyard will be serviced by a wide body 75t Travelift allowing the retrieval of catamarans for repairs, servicing and long term on land storage when cruisers break their travels to return home.

The ability to lift catamarans will be enhanced with a hydraulic trailer specifically designed to support the larger cruising cats when lifting.

Chapman says he is looking to talk with contractors and business owners about the opportunities that will present at the shipyard to operate businesses to provide the services and products needed to service up to 200 yachts on the yard when at capacity.

There are many opportunities to get involved as the worlds Superyachts are attracted to the beauty of Fiji and the South Pacific.
