‘Back2Boating’ packages in North Cyprus
K
arpaz Gate Marina has announced special berthing packages to welcome boat- owners to the spectacular
shores of North Cyprus as the region opens its borders with new entry requirements for international visitors. The travel criteria now allows
quarantine-free entry to North Cyprus from low-risk (green, orange and yellow) countries, with no test requirements for vaccinated visitors from the lowest risk areas. The status of each country will be updated on a weekly basis by the Ministry of Health and will be posted weekly on the Karpaz Gate Marina website. The lowest risk countries currently include Australia, Israel, Malta and New Zealand (Green), plus Austria, Finland, Gibraltar, Italy, Norway, Poland and Portugal (Yellow). Croatia, Germany, Lebanon, Russia, Spain, Turkey and the UK are listed as Orange. Offering the perfect berthing
solution as a safe, hassle-free and peaceful home port for owners seeking to escape the crowds, award-winning Karpaz Gate Marina is introducing its ‘Back2Boating’ campaign to attract new clients and returning berth-holders over the Summer and beyond. The special deals are available from June and include discounted annual packages, with options for a lift-out service for hull check and technical work or three months’ flexibility to sail elsewhere within the contract. There are also short-term deals for new clients, with the potential for an extended stay.
Liza Singer, Managing Director,
Karpaz Gate Marina, said: “It has been a challenging year for everyone, with limited travel and many other restrictions. However, there is positive news regarding the vaccination program and the pandemic in the TRNC and clear travel guidance in place, so we are looking forward to welcoming boats once again and starting to see the buzz of excitement in the marina. “It has already been seen over the
past year that boating is the perfect activity during these times as a safe way to enjoy the freedom of the ocean and spend time with friends and family. At Karpaz Gate Marina, we are committed to combine all that is required for safe and enjoyable travel – safe mooring, peace and quiet away from the crowds, natural surroundings and also our full-service capabilities, technical service centre, hassle-free procedures and leisure amenities.” The marina marks a decade of
operation in 2021 and celebrates a significant milestone in the transformation of North Cyprus as an accessible cruising region for the yachting community. Winning five- star reviews from berth-holders, the marina has built a strong reputation due to its unique and idyllic location, and immaculate berthing, technical and leisure facilities. The launch of the new Karpaz Gate Marina hotel, hammam and spa later this year will be the latest development at the Five Gold Anchor marina, adding exceptional accommodation to its full-service capabilities.
World-leading superyacht refit shipyard MB92 Barcelona has collected 570 kg of waste, the equivalent of 65,000 33 cl plastic bottles, during the previous year thanks to two Seabins installed in its facilities. The waste included everything from industrial plastics, bottles, cans, packaging, disposable PPE such as masks, textiles to organic ocean waste. The MB92 Seabin project, which
began in 2019, forms part of the water quality improvement objective of its sustainability plan and was created in order to manage the debris that is transported into the Mediterranean port by the tide. Despite the large quantity of waste
collected in 2020, the shipyard estimates that, in a year without the global pandemic, the figure could have been as much as 780 kg.
Marina development in Belgrade
Marina Dorcol has appointed Marina Projects Ltd to provide assistance with the design and delivery of a new marina and waterfront development in Serbia’s capital Belgrade. Located on the River Danube, the mixed-use project involves a EUR300 million regeneration of a site previously used as a power station for the introduction of residential properties, commercial offices and green park space. The scheme will include the introduction of a marina and active public waterfront promenade with cafés, bars and retail outlets to provide an attractive destination for locals and boat users alike. The new marina will occupy an
existing inlet on the Southern bank of the Danube, situated immediately to the West of the

disused power station, which was built in the 1930s. The inlet was originally constructed to receive barges delivering fuel to the plant and includes an iconic gantry crane structure spanning the basin. Marina Projects has been
commissioned for the feasibility and technical design for the new ‘boutique’ marina that includes berths for craft up to 14 metres and provision of mooring space for visiting vessels. The marina design adopts a bespoke and contemporary layout to reflect the modern style of architecture planned for the landside development. The delivery phase of the project is
scheduled to start this year, with the construction of the quayside edge and marina basin being amongst some of the first priorities.
