Erick van Egeraat presents plans for archipelago
in Black Sea
Rotterdam/Moscow, 24 September 2007 - Erick van Egeraat presented
his plans for Federation Island to the President of the Russian Federation,
Mr Vladimir Putin. The presentation was held at the International
Investment Forum 2007 in the future Olympic host city Sochi.
Federation Island is a 330 ha artificial archipelago, located off
the coast of Sochi, in the Russian Black Sea. The archipelago offers
residences, hotels, cultural, leisure and recreational facilities.
Federation Island will be built in the shape of the Russian Federation
and reflects the country's major geographical features. The Russian
river network is used as a reference for the island's waterways; the
high mountains inspire the island relief.

Federation Island comprises seven main, more than a dozen private
and three breakwater islands. Sandy beaches, dunes, grasslands, bushes,
small forests and riverside offer much variety for accommodation ranging
from beach residences, luxury villas and apartments to dune, river
and cliff houses.
President Putin especially inquired about technical details and construction
time. Erick van Egeraat assured that the Dutch experience in reclaiming
land from the sea will benefit the project, which he considers to
be unique among its kind.
Federation Island is located 15 km from Sochi and the regional Adler
airport. City, marina, airport and the skiing resort of Krasnaya Polyana
can be easily reached from the archipelago.
The region of Sochi has a humid subtropical climate with an average
summer temperature of 25 to 28 degrees Celsius.
The project is being developed by M-Industries of St. Petersburg and
designed by Erick van Egeraat in co-operation with Dutch engineering
companies Witteveen + Bos and Van Oord Dredging and Marine.
