Code of Practice revision for now and the future
UK: The Yacht Harbour Association’s (TYHA’s) renowned Code of Practice, an industry guide to marina design, construction and operations, is being revised and updated with the support of specialist marina design consultancy Marina Projects. Launch is planned for autumn 2025.
First created in 1977 and subject to several subsequent updates, the Code of Practice now requires modernising to reflect its use at an international level. Both TYHA and Marina Projects will combine their extensive experience to develop the Code into an industry standard that provides thorough guidance and covers the most up to date practices.
Factors most affected over time include boatyard operations, superyacht requirements, sustainability and environmental changes, boat types and usage. Global trends also need to be considered to ensure the document is fully up to date and future-proofed.
“The leisure marina sector is growing and evolving at a rapid pace, putting increasing pressure on marina designers, builders and operators to maintain the highest standards and deliver exceptional service to customers,” said TYHA’s Jon White. “Ensuring that our Code of Practice offers the best possible guidance for our members across 30 countries is therefore crucial. We are thrilled to collaborate with the renowned industry experts at Marina Projects on this important review.”
Mike Ward, managing director of Marina Projects, also welcomed the collaboration and emphasised the team’s full support of the revision, noting that the expanded use of the Code around the world meant that it was now applied in an increasing range of varied circumstances. “The industry is changing at an increasing pace, customer demands are evolving, and its is essential that the industry led design and operational guidance provided by TYHA not only keeps pace but also sets the course for improving standards across all aspects of marina design and operations for the foreseeable future,” he noted.
