New Marinas Unit

Home moorings are provided by private land owners, marina operators and British Waterways. Future forecasts of boat ownership suggest that demand will soon outstrip supply. Our New Marinas Unit was formed to facilitate the construction of new off line moorings by the private sector, and currently has a target of 8,000 new berths by 2016.
