There are rivers, seas and boats. What Fuzhou lacks at present is a dock
It is understood that the current yachts in Fuzhou are mostly luxury yachts, mostly bought by some companies and business owners, in addition to private play, mainly used for business reception, as a symbol of the company's brand and culture.
Talking about the yacht industry in Fuzhou, Zhang Bin said that the yacht industry in Fuzhou has great prospects. "Fuzhou has the river and the sea, you can swim the river, you can also go to sea to play, in addition, Fuzhou also has a group of owners to play yachts." According to reports, at present, there are more than 30 yachts in Fuzhou, and because there is no pier, some enterprises and owners are limited to buy yachts.
Industry insiders said that Xiamen in just a few years, the rapid development of the yacht industry, Wuyuan Bay marina many yachts, there are more than 30 yacht companies, and Fuzhou, as the capital city of Fujian Province, also has a good river and sea resources, the development of the yacht industry is very advantageous.
Build 19 marina Cangxia area will be able to stop 100 boats
According to the "Fuzhou Yacht Industry Development Master Plan (2010-2025)", Fuzhou will build 18 marinas, among which Jiangxin Park, Exhibition Island, Sanjiangkou and other marinas will be public marinas. From 2010 to 2015, it will focus on the construction of private terminals, focusing on the Minjiang River, and complete the construction of 200 berths.
According to reports, most of the piers planned in Fuzhou are far away from Fuzhou city center, there are not many on the river in the urban area, and the docks are not large, and most of them can only berth 1 to 3 yachts.
"We investigated the coast of the Min River, that the river surface of the Cangxia area in the urban area was originally a Pingshui pier, with natural conditions for the construction of a pier, especially to the Fuzhou municipal government to apply for the addition of the Cangxia yacht pier on the basis of the original planning," Zhang Bin told reporters, their first phase of planning for the scale of 30 yachts in the future along the river one kilometer, The planned construction scale can accommodate 100 yachts.
As for the layout of the yacht on the Minjiang River, will it affect the normal passage of the waters of the Minjiang River, Zhang Bin said, "The construction of the dock can not affect the normal navigation of the river, can not affect the flood discharge requirements of the Minjiang River." Therefore, the approval of the port is more complicated, and it needs to be approved by many departments such as maritime and water conservancy before planning and design.
It's not a lot to get a yacht license and it pays well to be a yacht captain
For many yacht companies, they are very clear that the Minjiang River resources in Fuzhou are very limited, so taking the lead has become the choice for many enterprises and yacht companies to layout Fuzhou.
Zhang Bin told reporters that they will intervene in the examination of yacht driver's license, after Fuzhou citizens can be like a motor vehicle driver's license, in Fuzhou can test yacht license. According to reports, there is only one test site in Xiamen at present.
"Various procedures are being processed, and the preparation of the test site has been intensively prepared, it is expected that the National Day can open classes, there are more than 100 forecast," Zhang Bin said, in addition to the age of 18 to 60 years old, medical examination, there are not many requirements. "At present, the cost of yacht training in Xiamen is about 20,000 yuan/person, and the training fee in Fuzhou will refer to this cost."
According to reports, in addition to the people who like yachts and some yacht owners, yacht sailors and captains and other yacht practitioners are also the main training objects. "The captain's current salary is not bad, the monthly income is about 7,000 to 9,000 yuan, so there are still many young people like to engage in this line."
Yachting is a sunrise industry and there are 300, 400 million yuan yachts
Zhang Bin told reporters that they also have a yacht company in Xiamen, mainly engaged in yacht sales, hosting and other businesses. In recent years, he has witnessed the rise of Xiamen's yacht industry, and also investigated the overseas yacht market. He believes that the yacht industry has great room for development.
"We are very optimistic about Fuzhou." Zhang Bin said that because Fuzhou is still in its infancy, his company will mainly put its experience in the construction and design of the marina, as well as the hosting, training, maintenance and leasing of the yacht.
In the view of the industry, the yacht is still used by high-end people in the province for business and leisure, and the life distance of ordinary people is relatively far. However, in the eyes of these industry people, yachts are a virgin land, "overseas yachts have been civilianized, yachts are a kind of life and culture, not unattainable." According to reports, in the eyes of many Fuzhou citizens, yachts cost millions of yuan, but at present, many civilian yachts in developed areas are only three or four hundred thousand yuan, not that the public does not have the ability to consume, and rental yachts will become a new way of leisure.
The industry believes that Fuzhou yacht has just begun, reasonable planning, reasonable allocation of resources, orderly competition, yachts will become a big new industry in Fuzhou. In the face of high-end people, many resources tilt to high-end people, but the planning should take into account the reasonable distribution and utilization of dock resources, in order to lay the foundation for the cake of the yacht industry.
