Thorny problems – but a bright future With the recent significant and ongoing rise in boat ownership, covered drystack is the most obvious solution to creating safe and secure boat storage in a world that is short of wet berths. Marina World asked industry experts how they thought the market was developing; what stumbling blocks existed; and whether they expected drystack to represent a noticeably larger slice of overall boat storage/mooring solutions in the future. Monica Capria, Capria Stacker Machinery Development: Drystack is the solution for boats up to 5 tons/32ft (10m) in South America and Europe and up to 10 tons/43ft (13m) in North America and Australia, but the market for new drystack projects is not rising as fast as boat ownership. Basing our views on our team’s experience and conversations with clients, marina consultants, project owners and developers over the past ten years, we realise that markets, macro and micro, are also different and have different priorities. For example, we compare Europe with North America but Europe is not homogenous, e.g. drystack development is unlikely in Italy; there has been pioneering automation in France; and in Norway the focus is on winterising. Obstacles: Permits take so much time, over five years and, according to some Americans, ten to 15 years, that investors may change the objective of the project, i.e. a drystack becomes a shopping mall… Future growth: Yes. We think that because of the noise and odour-free eco-friendly electric solutions (stacker machines and new forklifts) the new generation drystacks will enable dry storage to be integrated into the community alongside housing, hotels, restaurants, offices and commercial areas. And preserve the most beautiful views close to lakes and oceans that will bring benefits to the community. Esteban Biondi, Applied Technology & Management The market is evolving differently in terms of economic, physical and boat use conditions. But this evolution responds to common fundamental drivers. Drystack facilities are a relevant element of a boating infrastructure system and can efficiently accommodate a potentially important share of the boats in a region. Their role within a regional system (described in PIANC WG 132) must be recognised in coastal/marine spatial planning, DRYSTACK STORAGE regulations and boating industry growth plans. Fundamentally, drystack is an excellent solution for light motorboats under 10 or 12m (32 or 39ft) in length (including jet skis). This is especially convenient when there is a relatively high cost of waterfront land, scarcity of water space and high demand for small boats. This becomes critically important when the highest and best use of the water space in a marina is for berthing larger yachts. Therefore, as demand for berthing grows, a larger share of the small boat capacity is accommodated in dry storage; and as land cost increases, drystack becomes the preferred solution. For example, Pete Peterson (ATM) points out that the rise of larger and expensive centre consoles plays a huge role in the need for more drystack in Florida and some resort communities. Where land is available in the short term, demand is weak and water level Stacker crane for lakefront facility Argentina-based stacker machinery expert Capria has recently installed a customised 8 tonne top running stacker crane at the new Aqua Boat Club by Mission Group facility in British Columbia, Canada. The machine can pull boats up to 35ft (10.6m), weighing up to 17,600lbs (8,000kg). The Club, which is positioned within a residential lakefront community on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, will accommodate nearly 200 boats in its new 30,160ft² (2,802m²) drystack facility. www.marinaworld.com – May/June 2023 19
