The last phase of civil works for the development of the multi-million dollar boutique marina on Nawi Island in Savusavu has commenced.

Nawi Island Limited Managing Director, Mike Gann says it is a milestone achievement for the development on the island.

The work involves digging and clearing of the channel for the marina.

“We plan to have the basin full, filled with water within the next six weeks and the dredging portion will be completed mid-January, 2020 with the floating docks being installed.”

Gann says development works are on schedule and they should have a soft opening for the marina by mid-next year.

The dredging is being done by Halls Contracting of Australia using cutter suction dredge Amity.
