"Istanbul Ramps up Marinas

Turkey is joining the race to create infrastructure for the world’s burgeoning boating community, laying plans for 10 marinas within the next two years.

ISPARK, one of the companies owned by the Istanbul city municipality, is planning the construction of 10 floating docks at sea, five on the city's Asian side and five on the European side. When they're finished, the marinas will have a total capacity of 5,500 vessels."
