Porto Montenegro is a luxury yacht marina and adjacent waterfront development under construction in Tivat, Montenegro. The construction site was a naval shipyard named ''Arsenal'', which fell into disuse after the breakup of Yugoslavia and the decline of the Yugoslav Navy. The lot on which the shipyard is situated was put on public offering in 2006, and was bought by Canadian businessman Peter Munk. It was acknowledged in 2008 that he was not alone in the venture - while Munk owns 54% of the Porto Montenegro company, the rest is owned by Oleg Deripaska, Nathaniel Rothschild, Jacob Rothschild, Bernard Arnault, Sandor Demijan and Anthony Munk. Munk announced that he intends to build a luxury yacht marina and a waterfront community, which would cater to needs of growing community of superyacht owners. The position of Tivat in the secluded part of the Bay of Kotor, together with the proximity of Tivat Airport, makes it favourable location for a marina. Porto Montenegro is the first comprehensive state-of-the-art deep water marina in the Adriatic Sea. The marina will have berths for 650 yachts, 150 of them super yachts, up to 150m long. These will be part of a full-service community of luxury apartments, shops, restaurants and other sports and entertainment amenities. Porto Montenegro is a phased development: there are now 185 marina berths, five mixed-use buildings containing 130 luxury residences, over 20 retail outlets, a full sports facility, yacht club, 64 meter infinity pool and lounge bar, a naval heritage museum, and a waterfront boutique hotel. Projects related to Porto Montenegro include an 18-hole golf course in the vicinity of Tivat Airport, and a possible acquisition of Bijela shipyard by Peter Munk, which could serve as a yacht maintenance facility. Following an international architectural competition, ReardonSmith Architects was appointed to master plan and design the marina and residential community of Porto Montenegro. The firm's proposal claims to respect both the local architectural inheritance and the natural habitat in building the new resort. The firm was partially inspired by the work of American urban planner Kevin Lynch. Virtually all the existing structures were demolished and their materials crushed to form aggregate. Construction is predominantly in local stone, with roofing in terracotta and clay tiles. ==The Marina== Porto Montenegro opened with 85 berths in June 2009. It has completed a further extension to accommodate its waiting list and now features 185 berths, Port of Entry status, and duty and tax-free fuel. The capacity will increase year-by-year to a total of circa 600 berths ranging from 12 to 150 metres LOA. The marina provides various services: * customs and immigration * duty and tax-free fuel * single and 3-phase electricity * wireless internet * 24-hour security * laundry facilities * refuse/grey & black water disposal * full provisioning Porto Montenegro is a 5 Gold Anchor marina with provisional Blue Flag status. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Porto Montenegro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
