DART HARBOUR
for another couple of years, as the executives were all planning for 2018. We’re satisfied that by attending the exhibition, we stood up to the competition out there and made valuable connections that we couldn’t possibly have achieved by being at home.”
TOWN JETTY Dartmouth’s new Town Jetty has reopened after a major
upgrade. In total 22 pontoon sections have been installed to replace the floating part of the Town Jetty, featuring significant improvements.
Consultation was carried out with commercial users to enhance the design of the pontoon with features such as improved fendering, encapsulation of piling, improved cleats, improved electricity including three phase and improved deck lighting incorporated into the design. The improvements will now allow leisure vessels to berth on the inside of the pontoon without being restricted by the piling which, during the busy summer months can cause inconvenience to visitors.
“The new pontoon is a considerable achievement and an illustration of our desire to improve river infrastructure for users both commercial and leisure alike,” said Capt Giles. “I would like to thank the commercial river boat companies for their input into the design of the pontoon and I would also like to pay tribute to Deputy Harbourmaster Nick
Clarance for leading this excellent project.” The pontoon has been designed to withstand standard industry projected environmental impacts such as floods and storms and loading from passenger vessels and is part of Dart Harbour’s ongoing investment into upgrading facilities on the River Dart with more than £500,000 being invested back into the river over this winter. Capt Giles added: “On completion of the fitting of the pontoon, it’s worth noting that the vast majority of public use pontoon stock in the river will be less than ten years old.”
The project is the culmination of a 12-month procurement project to seek the best value and most robust pontoon for the river’s commercial and leisure users. Work was carried out by Inland and Coastal Marina Systems.
