Preliminary Design for Ferry and Cruise Ship Facilities
Project Summary
Nine Dragons Development Company retained ATM to develop a
feasibility study for the cruise, ferry and marina components of a
maritime-oriented mixed-use resort facility near Shanghai, along the
coast of the East China Sea.
ATM's feasibility study involves comprehensive market assessments of
the various boating segments and potential cruise users, as well as
thorough coastal engineering analyses (due to the extreme tidal
range at the site) to establish the optimum facilities layout,
requirements for structural design, and the feasibility of ship
operations.
Reminiscent of the world-famous Harbour Town Marina Village at Sea
Pines Plantation (Hilton Head Island), when completed, the two new
marinas and surrounding resort village of Nine Dragons Resort and
Golf Club will provide visitors with an enticing seaside retreat
complete with sea breezes, waterfront restaurants, hotels, villas,
golfing, and other upscale amenities and amusements. With tour and
charter boat facilities, the resort also will cater to families and
visitors seeking to incorporate recreational boating into their
leisure activities.
