West Vancouver. The entire marina system was removed and replaced with a new system that was configured with larger and more usable slip sizes to better suit the existing client base, resulting in a 608-slip marina with mixed-size slips and covered berths. Cautious progress in Europe 2014 proved to be a relatively quiet year for Europe although there were notable developments. A project to build a 250-berth marina for vessels up to 74m (243ft) in Portonovi, Montenegro, began early in the year. Developments include a VIP yacht club, helipad, high-end residences and a dedicated pier for visiting superyachts, all located in the stunning bay of Boka Kotorska, which has excellent access to Adriatic cruising grounds. Elsewhere in Montenegro, Dukley Marina in the historic town of Budva joined Camper & Nicholson (C&N) Marinas 1782 Club and was scheduled to undergo a major redevelopment. The 330-berth marina is to be transformed by a substantial breakwater and a 60% increase in berth numbers to position it as one of the most sophisticated marinas in the Mediterranean. In Spain, Formentera Mar was selected to oversee the new Marina Vela Barcelona under construction in the port of Barcelona. The marina will have wet berths for vessels from 15m (49ft) to 40m (131ft) and a three-storey drystack facility – a first for the port – to house 189 boats of up to 9m (30ft) in length. GLOBAL REVIEW Plentiful amenities and public spaces surround the new basin at Marina Vela Barcelona. Floor area will measure 3,400m 2 (4,066 yrd²) and the building will incorporate space for shops and other commercial premises. Set within an 18,000m 2 (21,527 yrd²) site with an additional 50,000m 2 (60,000 yrd²) water area, Marina Vela will boast plentiful amenities and public spaces. Key facilities include the Mirador building with restaurant, bar and a spacious drydock plaza. www.marinaworld.com - January/February 2015 25
