ASAR Project Management & Construction Updates

Redefining the Future Marina, Worldwide.

ASAR is a smart storage solution that will add to your profits and your entire marina! By automating the storage and retrieval process, you can increase your marina’s usable, leasable cubic space, enhance operating efficiency, and enjoy the benefits of an unmatched rack-to-water vessel delivery every time. This advanced technology will allow you to store more boats in your dry stack facility, and provide a faster, more reliable storage system for you and your customers. Additionally, replacing the traditional forklift or crane method with ASAR reduces the risk of environmental hazards, damage, and theft.

Automated Storage and Retrieval by GCM

ASAR replaces the traditional forklift or crane, which is prone to operator error and slower delivery, with a fully-automated stacker crane that safely hugs the hull of the boat and moves it on a track that gently slides both side-to-side and up-and-down. Superior to a forklift or crane in every way, ASAR lifts at up to 3.5 miles per hour and drives at up to 11.4 miles per hour, offering the redundancy of dual drive motors and dual lift motors. Furthermore, it takes the boat directly from the water all the way to its storage space within the dry stack, even cleaning it along the way via an optional vestibule washdown system.

By liberating conventionally unusable cubic space, the return on investment (ROI) continues to multiply through the entire life of the marina. This increase of leasable cubic space, without the increase of footprint, is particularly valuable to the marina owner in a high-value real estate market with limited space.
