Halcrow’s maritime expertise covers all aspects of development, planning, design and construction of recreational and domestic facilities, from small marinas to ferry and cruise terminals.
Marinas and small harbours
The last 20 years have seen a significant increase in demand for marina and small craft harbour developments around the world, and Halcrow as been involved in planning, modelling, design and supervision for many of these schemes.
Our services include:

- conversion of existing port facilities
- new construction within existing harbour basins or protected by breakwaters
We can also provide expert guidance on funding for initial development, operational costs, revenues and tariffs, and our asset management engineers can help develop plans for proactive maintenance of marine infrastructure investments.
