Biggest marina in Seoul approved
SOUTH KOREA: The Seoul Metropolitan Government has signed an agreement with private company Hangang Marina for a 220-berth marina able to accommodate vessels up to 24m (79ft) in Jamsil Hangang Park, Songpa District. When complete, it will be the largest marina in the city.
To be known as Jamsil Marina, the project forms part of the government’s Comprehensive Plan for Hangang River City, which aims to convert the waterfront into a space for “everyday life” by establishing floating hotels, dining areas and office spaces, and to make the river a “growth hub” via the marina and additional mooring spaces for a total of 1,000 boats.
Construction of Jamsil Marina is scheduled to begin early next year with a view to opening in 2026.
