On 8 June, our Senior Marina Director, James Roy hosted delegates from Korea’s Siheung City Hall, including Mayor Lim Byeong-taek and his team. During the 2-hour presentation and marina tour, James shared successes and challenges in operating a marina and took them around our back-of-house. Mayor Lim and his team even witnessed firsthand how we launch yachts from our dry stack. We are incredibly humbled to have the opportunity to host our Korean guests and to be recognised as a marina industry leader. This would not have been possible without the support of our Members, boaters, stakeholders and staff. 

The recent oil spill on 14 June was an unprecedented case of oil spillage in the waters of Singapore. Our dedicated team and volunteers had been working tirelessly over the Hari Raya long weekend to clean up the oil spill and deployed oil booms to minimise the spread into the marina, and we have also actively engaged relevant government authorities to support our efforts to clean the Marina area. A big thank you to our volunteers who made all the difference in our clean-up efforts.     As stewards of the ocean, we recognise the importance of a healthy underwater eco-system, and we are working closely with our Eco-advisors to monitor and protect our Marina’s biodiversity.

Our Regional General Manager, Jonathan Sit, recently shared his insights on building a successful marina in Asia on a panel at the recent Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit held in Hong Kong. Joined by distinguished panelists Ekrem REYHANCIOGLU of PORALU MARINE and Cassy Wong of KIMDA, they also discussed the evolving models of marinas, challenges in aligning synergies between the industry and governmental policies, and the shift towards eco-friendly practices within the industry. Organised by SuperYacht Times, the 2-day event was attended by over 200 delegates from Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe and was a great networking opportunity for the Asian and global superyacht community.

The road to a more sustainable future is paved with innovative solutions and collaborations. At ONE15 Marina, we are thrilled to be part of this monumental stride to further the environmental sustainability efforts on Sentosa with Sentosa Development Corporation. For 6 months, plastic waste from our operations was diverted to contribute to the 4 tonnes of plastic waste collected. These were repurposed into sustainable road material, and eventually paved the way for an eco-friendly 124m road near Sentosa Sensoryscape.   No matter how minute, every contribution plays a vital role in collectively shaping a better, more sustainable world. 🌿
