The construction of a wharf catering for super-yachts is expected to begin in October in Haikou, capital of China's southernmost island province of Hainan.

The planned wharf will be 260 meters long with exclusive berths10.5 meters deep.

The whole project is expected to cost 40 million yuan (4.8 million US dollars).
