The DualDocker is an innovative docking system for yachts and all floating structures like houseboats and offices. It replaces bow mooring lines, fingers, piles, bow anchors and buoys. The DualDocker arms (firmly attached to the fixed pier, the floating pontoon or the quay wall) with strong integrated shock absorbers hold the yacht or floating structure in place, thereby eliminating kinetic energy created by wind, waves, passing vessels and current. The yachts or floating structures lie calm and stable at their berths.

The International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) is an EU based, independent non-profit association established in 1996. IMCI offers the assessment of marinas, companies, products, services, business professionals and has worked with more than 2000 clients worldwide.

The IMCI BLUE STAR Marina Certification programme uses a range between 1 and 5 stars to indicate the quality of certified marinas. The star system is already a well known method used for hotels, restaurants and campgrounds and a transparent and comprehensible system. Both the user and operator will benefit from this expected marina service quality.

Certification topics include external presentation, sanitary installation and hygiene, service facilities, food and chandlery supplies, leisure facilities, environmental protection and waste management practices, security and safety.

Certification is granted after a positive assessment by an IMCI Inspector. A mandatory re-assessment every third year assures the continuous reliability of the certification and the marina’s quality.

IMCI maintains a list of all assessed marinas on both internet and in print media, thus, being readily accessible to the boat user. The certified marina receives the certificate along with an outdoor star certification plaque.

Seeing that IMCI is a non-profit association, we can offer this innovative and economical opportunity to marinas

It has been subjected to multiple peer review, and review by lawyers, accountants and other specialists. It contains almost every piece of information and every document needed for the day-to-day operation of a marina and will save a management team hundreds of hours of work.

A marina that adopts The Marina Manual will almost certainly enjoy a reduced insurance premium, and it will also have a sound basis for achieving ISO 9001.
The Marina Manual is written it in clear and simple English so that it can be understood by many nationalities, and this also makes translation easy.
A marina director or manager can be personally liable in case of accidents on the marina. The procedures and systems in The Marina Manual are designed to protect the management team as much as possible.

The Marina Manual is authored by Simon J Arrol, for many years Managing Director of Camper & Nicholsons Marinas Ltd and a Director of Island Global Yachting Dubai LLC.
