Commercial Marine Specialists Reveal Interest in Purchasing Ryde Harbour
Dover-based Riley Marine Services Ltd announced on Thursday 18th their expression of interest in taking over Ryde Harbour and a second, undisclosed location on the Isle of Wight.
At the tail end of 2018, it was announced that the Isle of Wight Council intended to sell off the harbour situated on the northern coast of the Island. This sparked concern amongst the local community with fears of potential overdevelopment of the area.
Ryde Town Council confirmed back in January that it would investigate the option of purchasing the harbour in the interests of Ryde’s townspeople. This prompted the pause button to be hit on putting Ryde Harbour on the open market.
Now, a professional maritime business from Kent has revealed a solid intention to secure the future of Ryde Harbour by undertaking desperately required dredging works and addressing a number of public health and safety risks. In addition, Riley Marine would look to improve berth holders’ security, introduce new utilities and services and introduce a rigorous in-house maintenance program without the need to outsource work.
UKSA Launches New Maritime Foundation Course
UKSA, the national youth maritime training charity based in Cowes, is launching a brand new, fully funded foundation course for young people aged 16 who have just finished their GCSE’s and are looking to start a career in the maritime industry.
The Maritime Foundation course will provide learners with skills and qualifications that demonstrate their competency to work as a seafarer. The 2-year course is suitable for those with little to no experience of the maritime sector as it will provide all essential skills, qualifications and knowledge for entry-level positions, thanks to the 60/40 split of practical and theory training.
Will Satterly, UKSA’s Education Manager, says:
“UKSA is determined to provide as many opportunities to young people across the Isle of Wight and further afield. This new course is designed to open as many doors as possible for those willing to work hard, listen and learn from experienced tutors who are passionate about helping them set long term goals and giving them the tools to achieve them.”
