The multimillion-dollar Port Ferdinand Marina is continuing to take shape at Retreat, St Peter.  Work began on the private, exclusive 12-acre facility last year and is expected to be completed in 2012.  Earlier this year, developer Bjorn Bjerkhamn, head of the Jada Group, said it would bring in close to $1 billion in foreign exchange and employ about 500 people.  It is expected to consist of 120 berths and 96 three-bedroom luxury apartments.  In this Bryan Walker photo, workmen are shown at work on the project.
