Breaking News in Marina Contracts

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the world had affected the maritime sector in our country in every aspect as soon as it manifested itself.

In this context, commercial vessels and recreational boats became anxious about whether they would be able to go to sea during the season. Even if they could go out, would the earnings of commercial vessels

be as they were before?

While these concerns remain valid today, they have also started to bring difficulties in berthing payments for vessels moored at marinas.

Especially commercial vessels, how would they manage these expenses without any income?

The management of G-Marina Kemer, closely following the developments, set an example for the entire maritime business community, particularly for marinas, with its decision.

G-Marina Kemer management announced that it has applied a 40 percent discount on the annual contracts of commercial yachts berthed at its marina for the year 2020.

The decision was communicated in writing to the IMEАК DTO Antalya Branch Presidency.

The management also announced the decision to apply a 5 percent discount on annual contracts for recreational boats, as well as adding one complimentary month to the contract period.

This decision was met with surprise and joy in the region.

During these days when trade has stopped in the region, the fact that no other organization has taken a similar facilitation decision and that a marina has taken the lead with this first decision

was well received.

This announced decision found its place extensively on social media and communication channels.

Following these developments, G-Marina Kemer General Manager Levent Tokaç, whom we spoke with, said that they would also apply a discount to the rental businesses within the Marina, offering 40% discount on advance

payments, and that they would communicate their decision to the establishments today.

G-Marina Kemer General Manager

"As a Marina, we could not remain indifferent to what is happening in the world and in our country. We conduct our business together with our guests.

Whether commercial or amateur, boat owners need facilitation to get through this period.

They are considered our partners in a way.

Their difficulties mean our difficulties as well.

A 40% discount will also be applied today to our rental businesses within the Marina.

We hope that this decision we have made will set an example for similar businesses and that this difficult period will be overcome with minimal wounds."

"These days, hearing news from our marina that we neither requested nor expected made us very happy.

As residents of the region, the fact that this was implemented

by a marina while no other commercial establishment made a similar decision

was very well received by us mariners.

Thank you Kemer Marina."

"The news was welcomed with joy at our marina and in maritime communication groups.

Especially the extension of the contract period by one month pleased amateur boat owners.

We believe that this initiative will set an example for other marinas in our country and we will hear about similar implementations very soon.

I congratulate G-Marina Kemer General Manager Levent Tokaç for this correct decision."
