In February, Port Denarau Marina, on Fiji’s West Coast completed a NZD $2 million floating jetty comprising of 46 berths. The project was a joint effort between Bellingham Marine New Zealand and the Skeggs Group of New Zealand.
Located in the tropical South Pacific surrounded by pristine oceans and white sandy beaches, the new Marina is positioned at the center of yachting activity in Fiji and is expected to produce a significant increase in bookings for the upcoming charter and yachting season.
The new jetty was designed to cater to mega yachts visiting the South_Pacific to meet the growing demand for slips in the Fijian Islands. The berths range from 12 meters to 65 meters, ten of which were built to accommodate super yachts and are capable of taking 65 meter yachts with 5 meter drafts. The marina also offers a range of services including repair and commercial barge services.
The new berths are fully serviced with power and water and feature Bellingham’s Unifloat system which is the first of its kind for Fiji which is designed to withstand tough cyclones while not compromising on aesthetics.
Within walking distance of the new Port Denarau Marina is a supermarket, pharmacy, bakery, bank, restaurants, bars and hotels. An 18-hole golf course is just a few minutes’ drive away and there are nearby towns of Nadi and Namaka with further restaurants, shopping, night life, hotels and spas.
Bellingham Marine designed, manufactured and supplied the docks for the Denarau project. Denarau Marina Ltd, oversaw piling, utilities and installation. Steel Pile and dried Fijian hardwood for the dock system’s walers were sourced locally.
