New Marina
In a couple of months they will be putting out to bid the construction work of the new marina that is planned in the north of the avenue Rafael Melgar. The infrastructure is supposed to open the market of yachts for Cozumel and will create a point of alternative dockings downtown ferry pier of the island.
The project already counts on all the federal permissions, is a project that is promoted by City Hall and has also municipal licenses.
The Marina called San Miguel will be a pier for boats and for yates of luxury, that besides will include a commercial area and a capable pier to receive ships of the size of the shuttles that unite the island with Playa del Carmen.
This project will be built north of the existing fiscal pier downtown, between the streets 4 and 6 North, front of the building of the Museum of the Island of Cozumel.
According to reports by the municipal government, the project was elaborated by the Sustainable Integral Coastal Administration, or ACIS, that is a municipal agency of new creation that possesses and administers a concession on practically all the coast of the island.
The government will put it now to contest of tenders so that the construction companies interested compete for it, which should begin to occur this same year.
The objective manifesto of the project of the marina is to have a point so that to Cozumel sailboats arrive more and private yates, as well as "to clear" the zone front of the present and only pier.
The project has received some criticisms, which affirm that will modify permanently the urban profile of the city and will affect one of the oldest parts of the jetty of Cozumel, which has borne hurricanes and all types of storms for some five decades.
