FERGUSON’S MARINA<br />

MOSMAN, NSW, AUSTRALIA<br />

WORLD NEWS<br />

<strong>Marina</strong>s22 –<br />

ready to roll<br />

AUSTRALIA: As <strong>Marina</strong> World closed for press, the Australia-based <strong>Marina</strong><br />

Industries Association was expecting its <strong>Marina</strong>s22 event (23 rd -24 th <strong>May</strong>) to be<br />

“the biggest and best event yet”, with over 40 companies taking stand space<br />

and a record number of delegate registrations.<br />

Open borders have encouraged<br />

international attendance, most<br />

particularly from New Zealand and<br />

South East Asia.<br />

The two-day programme, ‘Inspiring<br />

TransEurope<br />

marks 35 years<br />

Business Success’, consists of 24<br />

conference sessions tackling a variety<br />

of industry issues and taking a keen<br />

look at opportunities and innovations of<br />

the future.<br />

EUROPE: Now boasting over 80 marina members in 12 different countries,<br />

TransEurope <strong>Marina</strong>s has gained remarkable ground since its foundation in<br />

1987.<br />

Formerly known as TransManche,<br />

the cooperative association of a dozen<br />

marina managers joined forces as a<br />

means to support independent family<br />

marinas, and to encourage their berth<br />

holders to cruise further afield by<br />

offering reciprocal conditions.<br />

The same spirit prevails today<br />

although the group has expanded<br />

in size and ambition. Jean-Michel<br />

Gaigné CMM, who has presided over<br />

the association for nearly a decade,<br />

was delighted to mark TransEurope<br />

<strong>Marina</strong>s’ 35 th anniversary, commenting<br />

“I am proud to see our network<br />

Positive signs for<br />

fostering customer satisfaction and<br />

promoting travel to exciting new<br />

destinations.”<br />

“TransEurope <strong>Marina</strong>s remains at<br />

the vanguard, not only for its capability<br />

to recognise evolving customer<br />

expectations but above all for the<br />

marina operators’ personal connections<br />

with the boating community,” he added.<br />

“TransEurope <strong>Marina</strong>s is no longer<br />

a simple network of yacht harbours<br />

giving benefits to berth holders but an<br />

inspiration for all those who seek out<br />

rewarding boating experiences from the<br />

Baltic to the Aegean.”<br />

Metstrade <strong>2022</strong><br />

NETHERLANDS: With 96% of visitors and 90% of exhibitors declaring their<br />

intention to return to the Metstrade event in November this year, hopes run<br />

high for a very positive show.<br />

Metstrade director, Niels Klarenbeek,<br />

explains: “The industry is eager<br />

to be back at the <strong>world</strong>’s largest<br />

B2B leisure marine event after an<br />

extraordinary 2021 edition. We have<br />

created a balanced layout with key<br />

points of interest in every hall in close<br />

cooperation with our partners such as<br />

ICOMIA and the Exhibition Committee.<br />

This allows us to accommodate<br />

Metstrade’s growth with more<br />

exhibitors, more space, more focus and<br />

an enhanced visitor experience. We<br />

cannot wait to see everyone return to<br />

Amsterdam in November.”<br />

As part of the theme to raise the<br />

profile of specialist interest areas, the<br />

<strong>Marina</strong> & Yard Pavilion (MYP) will form<br />

an integral part of the Hall 5 show floor<br />

this year.<br />
