While presenting the award, Andrew Chapman said “The Global Gold Anchor rating system is designed to provide boat owners and marina users with an easy reference system like hotel star ratings. Marinas are independently assessed against over 86 separate criteria which cover management processes, the condition and maintenance of the marina, environmental practices and the ancillary facilities and services. The assessment also involves an anonymous customer survey to further ensure it delivers on its promises.”
Suzanne Davies MIA CEO commented, “ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove has been a 5 Gold Anchor Marina for many years, but the recent marina upgrades and the integrated services offered through the hotel and hospitality areas make it a worthy Platinum recipient and we are very proud to make the award”.
While accepting the award Jonathan Sit General Manager, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove said “ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove Singapore is honoured to be the first 5 Gold Anchor Platinum marina in South East Asia. With a focus on service, community and environment, we are constantly striving to improve and attain excellence in these areas. We hope to replicate the same standard across all ONE°15 Marina properties globally. Finally, we wish to thank the Marina Industries Association for this recognition.”
James Roy Marina Director, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove commented “We are committed to providing a great berthing experience for all boaters and envision to be the superyacht hub of the region. To this end, the marina has taken a proactive step to reconfigure the marina (just 15 years into its operation) to accommodate more superyachts and upgrade our facilities to match the power and infrastructure demands of the industry in the near future. The 5 Gold Anchor Platinum award is a remarkable achievement and a great encouragement for us to continue delivering the best service standards.”
