A recent fire at Pine Harbour Marina highlighted why the marina is so strict on compliance. The total damage to vessels from this fire was more than 4 million dollars including damage to neighboring vessels, salvage, and environmental clean-up costs. To keep our boats safe, we have measures in place:
What to do in case of a fire:
On the Water
U pier refurbishment: With the repairs and refurbishment on S pier almost completed, the next pier to undergo refurbishment will be U pier. Trevor from the Customer Service team will be in touch to relocate vessels off the berths to allow the work to be completed. Please work with us to ensure a smooth process and ensure there are no hold ups. If you are planning to have your boat away at all, please let us know! info@westhaven.co.nz
AA, S1 & AB pier: AA and S1 piers are now complete and fully allocated out to customers, and AB pier is well under construction and will be ready to be used over the winter.
On the Land
The northern reclamation area has now had its settling-in period and will be ready for permanent works to start. After Easter weekend the area will be cleared out and the permanent construction will begin. This work is planned to be completed over winter to minimise disruption to customers.
At Z Pier
We have just successfully installed the Man Overboard system on our commercial charter base. https://manoverboard.net.au/ The system was created to save lives and fill a gap in the market. No system of its kind had been commercially available before, and it is a simple solution for marina owners/operators to mitigate the risk of someone falling in the water from the dock or boat at berth. An alarm system can be easily triggered by the person overboard if they are unable to retrieve themselves from the water. A great addition to our piers that are open to the public.
The Auckland Dragon boats Association is hosting an event in St Marys Bay on Saturday 14 May 2022. This event will highlight the dragon boats out on the water, and there will be a light festival, food stalls and entertainment in the vicinity. Keep an eye out for more information!
Did you know? Westhaven Marina has a comprehensive set up of 147 CCTV cameras, providing security and surveillance 24/7 from Curran Street right throughout the marina to Z pier. Footage is recorded in case of an event or security incident, and the police can ask for access to this at any time.
