Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club appoints Marina Projects

Specialist consultancy, Marina Projects Ltd has announced its appointment by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC) and Hebe Haven Yacht Club (HHYC), to undertake a review of the mooring capacity at their facilities in Hebe Haven. The purpose of stage one of the study is to analyse the efficiency of the current water space with consideration to the site constraints and local market in order to better accommodate the growing demand for moorings in Hong Kong.

The review will take account of both the RHKYC and HHYC swinging moorings and look to produce practical conceptual arrangements that optimises the existing mooring facilities of both clubs, ensuring there is a match between vessel sizes and mooring capacity. In order to provide the necessary level of detailed appraisal and consider the extreme typhoon conditions, Marina Projects will be making an assessment of the met/ocean data and prevailing site conditions.

We have a great deal of experience in assessing the optimisation of water space in comparison to the needs of the local market.
