MIA Adapt to Support Members in New Environment
S     ince the last edition of Waterline the
      activities of MIA changed in response to the

quickly changed the MIA changed its priorities
accordingly. We locked in these five priorities:
1. government advocacy,
2. increased member and member to member
    engagement and information;
3. increased interaction with like associations,
4. fast track roll-out of online education and;
5. S ecuring government funding to support
    industry recovery.

1. Advocacy with Australian States and Federal
governments. Since mid-March to the time of

T   his standout marina was first
    built in the late nineties to
accommodate visitors to the 2000
Sydney Olympics. Since that time, not
only have the yachts gotten bigger
but the requirements of many of
the yacht owners have reached the
point where a number of upgrades
to facilities are required. Clemens
Overdijk, the Marina Manager since
2016 has been very interested in
ensuring that their customers get the
best experience possible.
 One aspect that is very important
to many yacht owners is the ability
to quickly and cleanly discharge any
wastewater from their vessels. No one
wants leaks or the risk of overflows, or
odours and importantly no one wants
to spend hours tied up discharging
wastewater. Or even worse needing to
go to a different marina to discharge.
There are many smaller marinas now
unable to handle the size of the tanks,

them to go elsewhere, at quite a cost.
An important bonus for the yacht
owners is that each berth offers a direct
connection to the vacuum system.
 Clemens looked at a variety of
solutions from around the world and
found that Flovac, a local company,
was doing large scale marina sewage
systems at a number of large marinas
around the world and catering to
the largest of yachts. These included
projects in Barcelona, Spain, Italy
and Greece.

Remote Activation of Pumps
  One aspect of the work that Flovac
had been doing around the world was
in the technology space. Flovac uses
IOT (Internet of Things) technologies
to enable remote troubleshooting of
the system as well as remote operation
of the system. Many existing pump out
systems require the yacht manager
to locate the pump station, turn it on

  C    ongratulations to Stefan Borzecki; long
       standing MIA Board member who has been
  awarded the globally recognised Certified Marina
  Professional (CMP) designation. Stefan has been a
  Certified Marina Manager (CMM) for many years.
  However with his more recent move out of active
  marina management and into broader marina
  industry activities the CMP designation is seen as
  more appropriate. The Global Marina Institute (GMI)
  has recently simplified the process for transitioning
  from CMM to CMP. GMI is actively encouraging
  former marina managers still active in the industry
  to consider this opportunity which ensures their
  ongoing participation in the associated Continuing
  Professional Development program and wider
  industry acknowledgement of their globally
  recognised designation.

     AUSTRALIAN ENERGY REGULATOR DEVELOPMENTS
     A     s Australian readers
           of Waterline may
     be aware MIA has been
     agitating since early 2019 for
     an industry wide exemption
     from the embedded
     electricity network
     obligation for marinas.
       On the 27th March 2020
     MIA was informed through
     the relevant Ministers office
     that MIA should make a
     formal submission regarding
     its concerns by seeking
     consideration of marina
     “berths” being specifically
     listed as an exclusion (e.g.
     in the listing of industries
     covered: delete “Marinas”
     and insert “Marinas (except
     berths)”). This would bring
     certainty, clarity, efficacy,
     and AER compliance of
     land-based premises and
     their commercial activities
     to the marina industry
     (whilst excluding water-
     based berths).
       MIA is pursuing this course
     of action and will keep
     members up to date on

               coming together for their first meeting in June
          using the now familiar online meeting platform.

          Instigated by MIA the objectives of the meeting are                        Marinas in: United States, Caribbean, Latin America and Mediterranean
          to ensure there is a consistent interpretation and
          assessment of the Gold Anchor criteria; to identify
          any specific items of assessment that need better
          definition or clarity; any changes needed to criteria
          due to changing circumstances – e.g. new technology
                                                                              Emanuele Rinaldi Italy         Alistair Skinner China           John Lewis Australia
          and to provide MIA and TYHA with any other
          feedback to ensure the continual improvement of the
          Gold Anchor Program.
            John Lewis has been assessing marinas on the East
          Coast of Australia in the Gold Anchor Program for
                                                                              Andrew Jaggers Ireland          Murat Tuncer Turkey              Tony Dye England
          the past three years. He believes the meeting will
          be valuable to share experiences and to discuss any
          specific assessment items that cause confusion or
          may need modifying.
            With the pandemic putting a temporary holt to site
          assessments by the assessors the meeting will also                               Mieke Vleugels Belgium            Andrew Monks Australia
