BOAT MOVING & YARD EQUIPMENT Marsden Cove Marina sits just inside the entrance to picturesque Whangarei Harbour and its idyllic boating waters. up to 40 tonnes. Marsden Cove Marina also ordered a range of Roodberg boat storage cradles and a 12m (40ft) container of Brownell Boat Stands, which are recommended for use with Roodberg hydraulic trailers. Operating six days a week, the haulout ramp can accommodate vessels up to 12m (39ft) wide and the trailer can carry vessels up to 35m (115ft) long. The 1ha (2.5acre) hardstand facility has a heavy-duty surface, video surveillance and secure fencing. Dedicated wash down areas are available for vessels requiring a quick “lift and wash”, with waste containment, sand filter and treatment ponds. For longer stays, the certified weight-rated stands and cradles ensure boats are properly balanced and secure. Service provision at the marina includes marine diesel engineering, canvas making and upholstery, painting, sail-making and rigging. Live aboard facilities include a kitchen, lounge, showers and toilets. The marina is located in the centre of the Marsden Cove canal housing development, just inside the entrance of picturesque Whangarei Harbour in New Zealand’s Northland region. Its world-class facilities boast 230 berths for boats from 10.5m (34ft) to 40m (131ft), a range of waterfront retail facilities and the area’s most popular public boat ramp. Marina facilities include 16-amp and 32-amp single phase (three phase on request) power, showers, toilets and laundry block; water at all berths; pump-out facilities; diesel and petrol fuel dock; rubbish, recycling, oil disposal and trolleys; wifi at all berths; and a secure car park. There are food and beverage outlets, a general store, hair and beauty salon, electric vehicle charging station, marine services, shore-based vehicle refuelling facility and customs offices. Fuel is offered on a self-service, 24/7 basis and is the only accessible fuel station in Whangarei Harbour. The vast and beautiful white sand beach of Ruakaka is a short drive from the marina and, a little further south, is the historic and quaint village of Waipu. Here, visitors can walk the Waipu Coastal Trail – a one and a half hour walk from Waipu Cove to Langs Beach, or explore the limestone caves full of stalagmites, stalactites and glow worms. Langs Beach is ideal for surfing, fishing or relaxing. In addition to enjoying an idyllic location, Marsden Cove Marina also has the enviable bonus of space. Marsden Maritime Holdings owns nearly 180ha (445 acres) of adjacent vacant businesszoned land that offers plenty of opportunity for further expansion. “As the marina owners, we are very keen to grow the marine precinct at the hardstand and we are in discussion with a number of marine service providers about establishing their premises there,” Marsden Maritime Holdings business development manager Vibeke Wright tells Marina World. “In time, I think it’s practically inevitable that we’ll look to expand the hardstand area but it’s too early to know when that will be. We’re certainly very happy with the level of interest and occupancy so far.” With a busy hardstand and over 80% occupancy at the marina as a whole, manager Brent Wilson is also in optimistic mood. “Developments at Marsden Cove are creating opportunities for growth, bringing new jobs and income into the region. Although the GFC hit our region hard, we have a great community here and we’re working together to develop a truly great place,” he says. Marina owner Marsden Maritime Holdings owns a large plot of businesszoned land. The hardstand, which is generously sized and busy, will likely be extended in the future. www.marinaworld.com - March/April 2018 27
