Phuket Yacht Haven announces installation of new pontoons

Phuket Yacht Haven has announced the installation of additional pontoons has commenced as part of its expansion plan. Reaching this milestone will help enable the marina to welcome superyachts from across the globe, as Thailand continues to grow as a world-class boating and charter destination.

In February 2015 MarineTek installed a new 260-metre pontoon and three 50-metre fingers were installed. The installation of the 18 new pontoons by MarineTek will add 14 new berths to the current total of 320, with the marina able to accommodate yachts up to 50 metres (164 feet) in length. The pontoons are constructed to comply with international standards for marine eco-system protection and will be equipped with electrical power, fresh water connections and 24-hour security services across the property.

The superyacht pontoons are the largest products in the MarineTek marina pontoon range and have been designed for the biggest boats and superyachts in modern marinas. The pontoon types chosen for this project are the M48000SYCC and M3300SY series. The design of these pontoons meet today’s requirements of high freeboard and excellent stability. They are manufactured under the quality certificates of ISO9001 and 14001 (environmental), represent the latest technological enhancements and are type-approved by the EU shipping registry.

In a release the managing director stated, “At Phuket Yacht Haven we aspire to provide our clients with a distinct marina experience by steadily adding to our facilities and services that outshine our clients’ expectations.”

Phuket Yacht Haven is an internationally accredited marina with ISO 9001, ISO14001, Clean Sea Level 4 and Gold Anchor standards. It is also considered a naturally safe harbour due to its scenic natural surroundings.
