• Marina in Sweden

Location: Sweden

Alby is a small locality in Sweden, and does not have a major commercial port typically known for international shipping or extensive marine operations. While there may be local docks or small harbors for fishing boats and recreational vessels, it lacks the infrastructure and facilities of larger ports such as Gothenburg or Stockholm.

Instead, here is a generalized specification of what a small port like a fishing or recreational marina in a locality like Alby might include:

General Description:

• Location: Alby is situated in Sweden, within the larger Stockholm County. It is likely to be found near inland waterways or small bodies of water rather than open seas.
• Usage: The port would primarily serve local fishermen, recreational boaters, and potentially small-scale commercial activities.
• Scale: Small to medium scale, adequate for handling private boats, small fishing vessels, and pleasure crafts.

Specifications:

1. Water Depth:

   • Typically shallow compared to commercial ports, sufficient for small boats (e.g., depth ranging from 2 to 5 meters).

2. Berthing:

   • Limited number of berths, likely in the range of 10 to 50.
   • Mooring facilities such as floating docks or fixed piers.

3. Facilities:

   • Basic amenities: Water and electrical hookups, often limited to certain slips.
   • Restroom and shower facilities.
   • Fueling station, but often limited to gasoline rather than diesel.
   • Repair and maintenance, possibly including a small workshop for minor repairs.

4. Storage:

   • Dry storage facilities for small boats, usually covered areas or open lots.
   • Limited warehousing, often temporary sheds or small buildings for local use.

5. Navigation:

   • Basic navigational aids like buoys and markers.
   • Limited night-time navigation aids such as small light beacons.

6. Services:

   • Small chandlery for boating supplies.
   • Local seafood market or small market for everyday needs.
   • Limited dining and leisure facilities such as a café or a small restaurant.

7. Security:

   • Basic security measures, possibly including CCTV and padlocked gates.
   • Very limited customs or border control for international visitors, mostly community-policed.

8. Communication:

   • VHF radio for communication with local authorities and neighboring ports.
   • Limited internet service, often extending from nearby lodging or local authorities.

9. Transport Links:

   • Access via roadways linking to the nearest major highways.
   • Proximity to local accommodation and services, making it convenient for overnight stays.

10. Environmental Concerns:

    • Efforts to maintain clean water and prevent pollution.
    • Waste disposal facilities such as trash bins and oil spill kits.
