On April 1, the first bulldozers are expected to enter the Larnaca marina and its reconstruction works will begin immediately.
A written announcement states that the CEO of Kition Ocean Holdings LTD, Panos Alexandrou said that "the schedules are respected and the planning is progressing so far, without any delay. "The cooperation with the Ministry of Transport, the competent departments of the government and the Municipality of Larnaca is excellent, with the result that the whole project is on a very good path," he said.
Specifically, he noted, "the construction projects are expected to begin immediately after the approval of the renewed master plan of the project and its submission to the town planning. It is expected that the first bulldozers will enter the marina on April 1, 2022, a date that will be day zero, since the reconstruction of the project will begin immediately.
According to Mr. Alexandrou, "initially the existing buildings will be upgraded so that the boat owners can be served, who will also have the opportunity to use applications and software from their mobile phone. "Green, large sidewalks and new lighting are some of the immediate changes in the Larnaca marina, which will continue to grow."
At the same time, he assured that "the mooring fees in the new marina of Larnaca will not be prohibitive for the existing users, the majority of whom have already been informed and have expressed their satisfaction for the whole project. The old pier, a trademark of the city of Zeno, will have a modern image, which will have 4 kiosks on the water ".
As for the Navy Scout building, "it will be turned into a photography museum, while the old crane will be upgraded, which will become the new reference point of the historic pier. Special lighting and beautiful benches will complete the renovation project. At the same time, with the new marina, the breakwater will grow and artificial reefs will be created, actions which will lead to the upgrade of the beach of Finikoudes ".
Mr. Alexandrou "also indicated that the whole project will be energy self-sufficient, will fully ensure the protection and sustainability of the environment and will significantly contribute to noise reduction, which is recorded in the environmental study, which was presented a few days ago at a public hearing. ».
