Grand Harbour Marina plc - Profile

Grand Harbour Marina plc was incorporated on 31 August 2000 and became a public limited company on 12 January 2007. The Company entered into a deed of sub-emphyteusis on 4 September 2001 with Cottonera Waterfront Group plc, pursuant to which it acquired the rights to develop and subsequently operate the Grand Harbour marina, develop the surrounding land and buildings and operate the ancillary facilities located in Vittoriosa, Malta. Following issuance of development permits in January 2003, the Company was involved in the development of the marina and related facilities geared for the berthing of yachts with a focus on super-yachts. The Company completed the first pontoons in 2003 and in 2004 while still developing other parts of the project, launched the super-yacht berths at Vittoriosa Wharf, Machinery Wharf and Xatt ir-Risq and then launched the marina in autumn 2005 after completion of the super-yacht berths at St. Angelo Wharf.

The principal activities of the Company are the development, operation and management of marinas with a focus on super-yachts. Currently the Company operates only one marina in the Grand Harbour. Its main area of business is seeking prospective customers to berth their vessels within the Grand Harbour marina and provide a high-quality service as required by the yacht owners, captains and their crews.

Grand Harbour Marina plc is operated and managed by Camper & Nicholsons Marinas Limited, an internationally-known company which has a strong expertise in this sector and manages various marinas worldwide.

The marina has a capacity of 197 pontoon berths for vessels ranging from 8 to 25 metres in length, and a total of 33 berths for super-yachts ranging from 30 to 100 metres (12 berths of which have been sold on 25-year leases with a combined value exceeding €31 million). At present, 98% of the pontoon berths are occupied.

During 2007 the Company finalised the development of the Capitanerie providing a location for administration offices, meeting areas for yacht owners and crew members as well as other facilities for servicing customer requirements.

Grand Harbour Marina is continuously reviewing the configuration of the marina in order to make optimal use of the area and maximise the value of the Company’s assets. In fact, given the strong waiting list for pontoons, the Company temporarily converted the smaller super yacht berths at Xatt ir-Risq into pontoons to accommodate an additional 24 pontoons. Moreover Grand Harbour Marina is reconfiguring the super yacht berths along St. Angelo Wharf which is expected to create a further large berth.

The Directors of Grand Harbour Marina plc are: Nicholas Maris, George Kershaw, John Hignett, Trevor Ash, Roger Lewis and Lawrence Zammit.
