Tidemaster Wins Contract

Tidemaster Docking Systems has been awarded the contract to build the new 244 berth Oyster Cove Marina at Kettering, just 34km south of Hobart, Tasmania.

The agreement was set in place in November and with approvals already in place, construction will commence immediately and is scheduled to be completed by mid 2010.

Scenic Oyster Cove is known as the gateway to Bruny.

Jaco Coetzee, GM for Tidemaster Docking Systems, says “This sale represents not only a new era for Tidemaster, but a unique opportunity for Tasmanian boaties. The new marinas is set right in the heartland of some of the best cruising opportunities in the Island state, and combined with the state-of-the-art facility that we are manufacturing, I see a dramatic increase in the number of boats that will call Kettering home.”

GM, Jaco Coetzee believes the marina will open opportunity for a rise in boating.

Tidemaster has started construction of modules and expects to ship the first of the marina modules by Christmas.

Partnership for Marina Re-build

A partnership has been formed to undertake the rebuilding and expansion of the Oyster Cove Marina.
Garry Rogers, well known for his involvement in V8 Supercar racing and the car industry in Melbourne, has bought a share of the Marina from Phil & Anne Boustead. Phil & Anne have owned and managed the Marina since 1998. Garry’s positive outlook, energy and enthusiasm are very welcome and we are looking forward to the work starting in early 2009.
