Firstly, as Issue 1, Volume 20 it marks the beginning of our 20 th year and, secondly, we are finally able to post it to you in an environmentally friendly compostable wrap*. This makes a significant difference to our use of plastic – as we currently mail every issue of Marina World to nearly 7,000 readers in 119 countries. Global readership requires global coverage and in this issue we report on news from Sweden, the USA, Hong Kong, France, the Azores, Thailand, the UK, Australia and Cyprus. Feature material looks at developments in Italy, Cyprus, the USA, Ibiza, Oman, the UAE and more. Particular highlights include the news (p. 12) on the Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show’s expectations of boosting nautical tourism in Thailand, and the increasing following for professional marina industry clusters: the Marina & Yard Pavilions (MYPs) at both IBEX (Tampa, FL, USA 1 st -3 rd October) and Metstrade (Amsterdam, the Netherlands 19 th -21 st November). These trade-only – or B2B – gatherings have become even more than just valued showcases for the latest equipment and services, giving attendees important extra educational and networking opportunities. While the MYP at IBEX focuses on highlighting innovations that are driving our industry in a ‘Marinas of the Future’ presentation, the MYP at Metstrade continues to build on its relationship with marina organisations. PIANC RecCom, the Recreational Navigation Commission of the Association of Waterborne Navigation Infrastructure enters into a new partnership with the MYP at Metstrade for 2019, delivering a specially designed PIANC Marina Design Training Programme; hosting an open meeting to discuss how marinas need to adapt for electric boats; and taking the stage to present the PIANC Marina Excellence Design (MEDA) Jack Nichol Award. The Jack Nichol Award, created in 2002, recognises excellence in the design of modern recreational boating facilities around the world. Previous winners include: Cesme Marina, Turkey; Marina at Keppel Bay, Singapore; Marina de Portimão, Portugal; Mandurah Ocean Marina, Australia; Cabrillo Marina (CA), Hammond Marina (IN), Bahia Mar Yachting Center (FL) and Charleston City Marina (SC) in the USA; Puerto Deportivo de Combarro, Spain; and Marina di Rodi Garganico and Marina Punta Gabbiani, Italy. Who will win for 2018/19? Carol Fulford Editor * On our journey to source our new packaging material, we came across great confusion between the terms ‘compostable’ and ‘recyclable’. To best serve the environment, please dispose of the FSC certified paper carrier sheet – where your address is printed – in your paper recycling box. The outer transparent wrapper should, ideally, be placed along with garden, food or domestic waste where it will break down naturally. www.marinaworld.com - September/October 2019 5
