Chairman of Marina Projects Ltd said “I am delighted that Marina Projects has been selected as the operator for James Watt Dock Marina. The Marina Projects team has a great deal of experience in the marina sector including the

We look forward to working with the existing staff in developing James Watt Dock Marina.” Riverside Inverclyde (Property Holdings) Ltd, one of the two companies that constitute James Watt Dock LLP, Board member Councillor Jim Clocherty said: “Marina Projects Ltd brings global expertise to Inverclyde and we look forward to the company applying its experience and knowledge in taking James Watt Dock marina to the next level. Very importantly, all of the current operational staff have retained their jobs with this new operator and will have the opportunity to grow with the company as it implements its expansion plans over the coming years. Inverclyde looks forward to the continued growth of James Watt Dock
Marina and I am pleased to add my welcome to Inverclyde to Marina Projects Ltd”. Fiona Maguire, Riverside
Inverclyde’s Acting Chief Executive and James Watt Dock LLP Director said: “I’m delighted to welcome Marina Projects Ltd, who have been awarded a lengthy leasehold contract for operating James Watt Dock Marina, to Inverclyde.
