Power
Nanny Cay has two 750 kva generators with the second installed in late 2015. With current loads, this gives us one redundant generator enabling us to use them on an alternating basis. As our power needs increase, the generators will run in tandem, balancing the loads if necessary. However, we will able to provide more than enough power for both marinas when full.
SaniSailor Pump Out
In 2013, Nanny Cay installed Tortola’s first marine waste pump-out facility on K dock near the entrance to the marina. The US-built SaniSailor marine pump-out system can remove waste at 20-35 gallons per minute.
This feeds into Nanny Cay’s existing waste treatment plant which currently processes approximately 19,000 gallons of waste water per day which was installed in 2006. 3000 gallons are reused as gray water on a daily basis.
Reverse Osmosis Plant
Nanny Cay’s reverse osmosis water plant, installed in 2002, produces 50,000 gallons per day feeding the entire property with potable water. We also have a Clear Water vending machine with full filtration and UV disinfection for visitors to fill and reuse up to 5 gallon containers.
The back up generators, r/o and recycling plants ensure that we are 100% self-sufficient if we need to be, and put no strain whatsoever on Tortola’s infrastructure.
Encyclon
In 2014, we invested in a new filtration system for the boatyard manufactured by Encyclon Inc, a leading cyclonic filtration system manufacturer. This new system gives us a level of water filtration on the hundreds of boats that are hauled and pressure-washed in our boatyard every year.
Waste
A waste oil storage unit with 64 square foot containers and emergency trap was installed in the Summer of 2016.
In February 2024, a fully electric self loading and dumping garbage truck was put into service. We also undertake weekly mosquito control inspections and have a number of In2Care mosquito traps around the property.
Plastic, glass and aluminum recycling
There is a plastic, glass and aluminium recycling area by the main garbage collection area in the centre of Nanny Cay.
