Marina at Keppel Bay has become the first such Asian facility to bag the 5 Gold Anchors rating from the Marina Industries Association of Australia (MIAA).
MIAA is an association for the marina industry in the Asia-Pacific region. It launched the Gold Anchor International Rating Scheme for marinas in 2009, with ratings of 3 Gold Anchors to 5 Gold Anchors.
The latest award for Keppel Bay came shortly after it won the Best Asian Marina at the 6th annual Asian Boating Awards in May.
The 5 Gold Anchors award was presented to Marina at Keppel Bay by MIAA President Andrew Chapman. He said that it had set the benchmark by winning the new certification designed to keep marina businesses at the forefront of best practice.
The Gold Anchor, is similar to the five-star rating for hotels. It was developed by MIAA as a reference system to help marina users decide which marinas across the Asia-Pacific region best fitted their needs and requirements.
The Gold Anchor marinas are audited independently with assessment across nine areas such as marina design, infrastructure, access, services including customer service and feedback, land facilities, environmental considerations, local attractions and food and beverage facilities. The participating marinas are also subject to "mystery shopper" checks during the three-year rating period.
Marina at Keppel Bay was built to complement the waterfront lifestyle offering at Keppel Bay. Homeowners of the two key sites in the area – Reflections at Keppel Bay and Caribbean at Keppel Bay – enjoy complimentary membership at the marina for ten years and free subscription for five years.
