THE TAKACAT ADVANTAGE

Heath Ragg,

I purchased a Takacat 260LX from James and the team at PRMS as a tender for my B.Oceanis 34 yacht. I have been really impressed with the sales communication and ongoing assistance. I used the tender extensively over summer, and it's been fantastic but I did run in to a problem. James and the team were fantastic and lived up to the support promise of providing full assistance and after sales help. I could not be happier, as everyone is usually helpful when selling you something, but exceptional after sales support is hard to find! GOLD!!!

Leeann Evans,

Sensational service today when my Husband went to purchase his Takacat 300LX, we had met James at the Adelaide caravan show, from that moment we had our hearts set on getting this great little boat. We are full time travels, travelling Australia in our Titanium Caravan and wanted a boat that was simple yet safe. This one ticks all the boxes and with the added great service it was a no brainer. Cannot thank James at Port River Marine enough … his service and attention to detail was exceptional. We will be promoting this product & business wherever we travel.

Charlotte Kacic,

I purchased a Takacat paddle board from James at the recent Caravan and Camping Show and he was beyond helpful. I love my new paddle board and recommend James and the Port River Marine team to all of my family and friends

The Ultimate Tropic Experience: Island Inflatables TRO230 Hypalon Inflatable Boat Series

Island Inflatable boats are a great way to get you out on the water, for some fun in the sun, without the hassles of a conventional fibreglass or aluminium boat. Island Inflatable boats fit into a convenient carry bag for the ease of transporting and storage. You don’t need a backyard to own a boat anymore because our Island Inflatable boats take up minimum space when not in use.

Choose from our wide range of cheap inflatable boats, from 2m up to 4.3m catering for the needs of any boater. Models are perfect to use as a tender to your larger cruiser or yacht. White in colour with non-marking black trimmings look the part behind any brand of cruiser. These smaller models are also a great entry boat for any young child wanting to experience their first taste of independent boating in complete safety.

Models from 3.3m up to 4.3m come in an attractive light grey colour to hide any of those unavoidable marks that come with fishing and boating. The light grey colour doesn’t rise in tempreture (darker boats are normally 15 degrees hotter). Caravan and Camping? Extend your tour further than just the land! If you’re into spear fishing or scuba diving, the 4.3m inflatable boat for sale comes with plenty of space.

The Island Inflatable boat range is constantly growing with unique designs like the KA396 Cross over Kayak Inflatable boat. There is no other design like this available in Australia. Giving you the benefits of a canoe being able to venture up small estuaries & creeks under the power of a small outboard or paddles, while giving you the stability of a inflatable boat. The KA396 also makes a very good fishing platform for up to 2 people.

At Island Inflatables we aren’t just an inflatable boat dealer, we always have 2 new models being developed at the 1 time. After designing and extensive testing the models will then be released only to be replaced with another 2 new models on the drawing board. We have found this method the most effective way to spend time & effort to produce a very high quality inflatable boat.

Island Inflatable boats Australia also have a range of Inflatable boat accessories. We stock products such as the Bimini Sun Shade with mounting system (Works on most brands of inflatables). No need for glueing or modifying!

INFLATABLE BOATS

An inflatable boat offers a convenient way to get out on the water without the added stress and maintenance of owning a regular vessel. They're built tough, are easy to inflate and won't take up space in the driveway or garage. And best of all, you'll never have to worry about reversing a trailer at the local ramp!

With an inflatable boat, the options are endless. Cruise the river and drop a fishing line, take the family on an adventure, or explore hidden creeks that can't be reached by foot. Set it up with a suitable outboard motor or let the paddles get you from point A to B- whatever your mission, an inflatable boat will make it one to remember. They also make for a great tender option for larger boats that can't be docked at a marina. Check them out online or head into your local BCF store for more expert advice.

VESSEL REVIEW | Sinichka – Electric commuter boats designed for Russia’s Moskva River

A series of three new electric monohull commuter ferries have already begun operational sailings on the Moskva River in the Russian capital Moscow.

Built by Russian shipyard Emperium, sister vessels Sinichka , Filka , and Presnya – all named after rivers in Moscow – are being operated by the Moscow Department of Transport and Road Infrastructure Development (Moscow Deptrans). They are the first units of a planned fleet of 20 vessels that will serve the capital city and other nearby communities. The new ferry system will be the water transport system to be operated on the Moskva River in 16 years.

Each vessel has a welded aluminium hull, an LOA of 21 metres, a beam of 6.2 metres, a draught of only 1.4 metres, a displacement of 40 tonnes, and capacity for 80 passengers plus two crewmembers. Seating is available for 42 passengers on each ferry, and the main cabins are also fitted with USB charging ports, wifi connectivity, tables, toilets, and space for bicycles and scooters. The cabin layout can be rearranged to allow the operator to adjust the distances between the seats and to install armrests of varying widths.

An open upper deck is also accessible to passengers and is the only area on each ferry where smoking is allowed.

The ferries are all of modular construction with each ferry’s wheelhouse, main cabin, and other structural elements being built as complete, separate components. This enables the ferries to be easily dismantled for transport to anywhere in Russia by rail and then quickly re-assembled within seven days.

The ferries are also ice-capable. Recently completed operational trials on the Moskva showed that the vessels can also easily navigate under mild winter conditions with broken surface ice, though year-round operations are planned for the entire fleet.

The ferries are each fitted with 500kWh lithium iron phosphate battery packs that supply power to two 134kW motors. This configuration can deliver a maximum speed of 11.8 knots, a cruising speed of just under 10 knots, and a range of 150 kilometres.

Emperium said the transfer of rotation of electric motors to the propeller is carried out by direct drive. As a propulsion installation, a pulling rotary propeller-steering column with double screws is used. The installation of double pulling screws, with similar power, allows an operator to increase the efficiency of the propulsion system to deliver a slightly higher speed or to reduce energy consumption. This arrangement also provides the ferries with enhanced manoeuvrability necessary for navigating in close quarters.

The batteries themselves have projected service lives of 10 to 12 years and are fitted with safety features such as built-in fire extinguishers and gas vents. Quick-disconnect features allow the batteries to be easily removed for replacement or maintenance.

Some of our readers have expressed disquiet at our publication of reviews and articles describing new vessels from Russia. We at Baird Maritime can understand and sympathise with those views. However, despite the behaviour of the country’s leaders, we believe that the maritime world needs to learn of the latest developments in vessel design and construction there.

In Russia’s commercial real estate market there is a segment that is experiencing a positive trend, and this segment is storage facilities. Businesses are keen to shift their focus from trading on the basis of retail commercial real estate to reaching their customers through online retailing, and the latter operating model heavily relies on warehouses. We believe that by the end of 2021 the total amount of real estate bought or leased for use as storage facilities in Russia will increase by 3.5 times and thus constitute an all-time record. Currently, the leasing or purchasing of this type of commercial real estate happens even before the commissioning of the properties. According to the results of the previous year’s third quarter, only 2.2% of Moscow’s storage facilities remain unused. This fact indicates that the demand for warehouse-type commercial real estate in Moscow is only going to increase with time, and it is even possible that this demand will be greater than the supply made available through new warehouse construction.

It is expected that in 2021 the demand for offices shall make a comeback, however, this indicator will not reach the level it was at in previous years. At the same time, the supply of office spaces available for lease is continuing to grow.

Preliminary data suggests that the volume of new construction of class A, B+ and B- office space in Moscow was 790 682 sqft or 241 000 m² over the past year. The total empty office space at the end of 2020 was 7.2 million square feet or 2.2 million square meters (12.1% of all existing office space in the capital). The aggregate floor area of properties leased and purchased on the capital’s office real estate market was 5.05 million square feet or 1.54 million square meters.

In 2020, new construction of retail properties (retail spaces with floor areas starting from 4 921 sqft or 15 000 m²) in Moscow totaled around 761 155 sqft or 232 000 m². Over the year 2021, new construction of commercial property of this kind in the capital is expected to amount to 656 168 sqft or 200 000 m².

And so, the commercial real estate market has greatly stratified in terms of its indicators and prospects, and these are inevitably experiencing adjustments as reality sets in. For investors, the current situation grants a choice of instruments for the growth of their capital, because select niches on the commercial real estate market do indeed have good prospects for growth.
