1 The wonderful world of marinas
Welcome to this happy place… welcome…

2 BIRTH OF MARINAS! As long as man has had boats…
He’s needed a place to put them.

3 Overview Basic marina design and different components Cost and Upkeep
What this has to do with you… the ocean engineer

4 Global Perspective: No two Marinas are the same…

5 Marina Design: #1 Objective
Protect the Ships at all costs!!!!! Combination of Engineering Principles Breakwaters Groins Jetties Bulkheads

6 Basic Marina Design:

7 Breakwaters:

8 Jetties:

9 Groins:

10 Bulkheads:

11 Many parts, one unique design:

12 Piers Floating – a buoyant pier that is tied to the bottom of the marina via a chain, rope or other tether Fixed – piers constructed out of ridged material, usually wood or concrete, that are permanent Natural – natural occurrences in nature such as beaches or rock outcrops that can be used as piers

13 Economics Buying or building a Marina costs $150,000 to 28 Million Dollars Annual repair cost of the marina is 3% of the total cost of the docks themselves Cost to rent a dock location ranges from $100 a month to above $10,000 a month for mega yachts in convenient locations Fuel sales at a Marinas account for a large percentage of the net profit since they are the sole fuel retailer in most cases

14 It’s all about you!!! The Coastal/Ocean Engineer:
Thanks and Gig’em

15 Growing Field!!! Movement toward ocean = vast job opportunity
+ = WO
