Next Previous Study to unblock the project of the Paphos marina HOME • INSIDER • CYPRUS • Study to unblock the project of the Paphos marina
& nbsp & nbspΝτόρα Χριστοδούλου & nbsp; & nbsp;
It was considered the project that would change the data and that would help Paphos to “launch” in the tourism and economic sector compared to all other regions of Cyprus. On a practical level, 15 years after those first celebrations, Paphos sees one after the other the coastal areas of Cyprus acquiring or launching their own marinas, while it is still trapped in legal proceedings, in consortia and to changes in government plans that lead nowhere.
For a few days now, the provincial authorities have been facing another attempt by the state to “resurrect” the project, creating for the umpteenth time a climate of optimism for overcoming the obstacles that have been recorded for more than a decade. The “vehicle” of the new effort to unblock the big project, this time is the mixing of the marina project with that of an anchorage. Deloitte's study for the combined development of the marina and the anchorage in Paphos, announced by the Ministry of Tourism after many years and fruitless efforts to promote the marina project, was presented last Monday to the competent bodies of the province by the researchers, in the presence of the Minister Tourism, Savva Perdiou.
In his presentation, the contractor analyzed the two options that according to his own study he favors for implementation. The contractor stressed that with the current data, none of the options studied are viable. However, with improvements to the existing local plan, both options can become viable and move forward.
According to the researchers, several obstacles are presented in this development, such as the existing road network of Kissonerga-Pegeia. The improvement of the existing road network will be a decisive factor in attracting investors. Paphos Marina: Mandate for a viability study Paphos Marina: Damn and from the beginning Paphos Marina: Optimism from a decision of the Review Authority The study for the Paphos marina was delivered After Easter the study for the Paphos marina
According to the president of the Association of Great Developments of Cyprus and vice-president of the CCCI, Andrea Dimitriadis has become clear from the presentation of the results of the study that if the appropriate incentives are given, the combined development is possible and economically viable.
All this will be clarified as expected in the next ten days, he stressed, since the Deputy Minister of Tourism within this time frame will send a copy of the study, so that the provincial bodies can express their suggestions in writing.
“That which is evident “, said the president of the Association of Great Developments,” is that the effort is now directed towards the combined development. The cost of development related to the arrival of cruise ships may be borne by the state and is estimated at 18 million euros. “
Mr. Dimitriadis also said that the specific issue is expected to be discussed in the presence of all Paphos bodies and MPs and will then submit their proposal to the Deputy Minister of Tourism in the coming days. We expect, he concluded, that immediately after the process will begin for the announcement of international offers for the construction of the marina and the combined development.
Commenting on these developments, DIKO MP from Paphos, Chrysanthos Savvidis, stressed that much more needs to be done to achieve this ambitious goal, and therefore recommended a coordinated effort by all stakeholders in the province. >
Having now officially before them a study for the promotion of the marina in relation to a combined project of similar texture, Paphos awaits the end of this effort, with the optimism being less than ever due to the successive failures in the passage of time.
And this, after the marina was decided in 2006 to be built in the location of Potima of Kissonerga, on the coastal avenue of Coral Bay and was to be the “flagship” of maritime tourism in Cyprus, with a capacity of one thousand boats and over 42,000 sq.m. residential and commercial development.
The first bids were submitted in June 2007 and what follows are now well known: Litigation, legal and business battles, promotion between marinas of one province after another and Paphos to absolute zero.
It was just the beginning of what would follow and which resulted in 2022 no one still knows when and if the works for this marina will start.
Vorkas: SeaWalk the suitable choice
Even before the state, through the Ministry of Tourism, announced the study that has now been completed, in Paphos, proposals for a shift in planning and a search for more flexible, faster and less “complicated” procedures in the field of maritime tourism had already begun to be heard in recent years.
Characterizing incorrectly the correlation promoted with the construction and anchorage in the same area, the Paphos municipal councilor of EDEK, Panagiotis Vorkas, raised the issue of creating a new style instead of an anchorage for serving cruise ships. which varies according to the needs and which is a much more flexible process than the anchorage.
“Cyprus and especially Paphos due to the geographical location of the city closer to the other Mediterranean cruise destinations, currently has a a key position in the evolution of cruise tourism “, says Mr. Vorkas. “This is becoming more pronounced as a result of the pandemic as a result of which the major international cruise companies have suffered huge losses.
Therefore, these companies will seek to develop new destinations that do not require large passenger stations or European ports accompanied by high mooring costs. In addition, the companies themselves will not be able to invest in port berth infrastructure in the coming years, especially after the financial losses suffered by the pandemic crisis. “
With these data, he argues Panagiotis Vorkas, a modern solution already used internationally for the development of new cruise destinations is the SeaWalk. It is, he explains, a floating platform 240 meters long and 6 meters wide, with the ability to fold and expand according to the needs of the berth.
“The SeaWalk extends from the land and touches the side of the ship “, right at the point of the passenger exit door”, he states. “Such a solution or even a similar one could be the appropriate choice for the development of cruise ship reception infrastructure in our city and the inclusion of Paphos in
