The initial gathering of information on site and from desk studies in an important key to correct concept analysis. Study progress must allow structured Client decisions. Eventual choice of a preferred solution leading to its preliminary and detailed designs. 1 Introduction The technical studies required for the eventual construction of a marina should follow a specific methodology which can be summarised succinctly in the appended flow chart. These technical studies form part of the administrative requirements for the creation of such ports and, although the following presentation is based on particular experience in Franc
