The total length of coast protection is 517.3 m. Laying of landscape fabric and sand filling are being completed, installation of protective concrete blocks has started.

Dredging operations are now being carried out to increase the sea depth inside and near the marina, and, consequently, to ensure easy passage of vessels in the future. Once dredging operations are complete, the maximum depth will be minus 7.5 meters. To date, 249 thousand cu. m has been dredged within the yacht marina area. The progress is 70%.

Landscaping of a bulk artificial land plot with an area of 0.94 hectares has been completed.   A slipway – a lowering and lifting structure for ships – has been landscaped. Laying of utility networks is well under way. A transformer substation is under construction.

The project for construction of onshore and offshore infrastructure facilities will have significant social and economic effects in the development of the city because the new comfortable environment will allow raising the city’s tourism appeal and will, in turn, have a positive effect on the city economy and quality of its residents’ life and promote the development of maritime transportation routes of the coastal region.
