  • Policy Commission Blue Paper
    POLICY COMMISSION BLUE PAPER RESPONSIBLE BODY Policy Commission for Business and Infrastructure PROJECT NAME REFERENCE NUMBER Island Ports Sustainability Study E1/06 1. PURPOSE OF ENQUIRY AND PROPOSED OUTCOMES 1.1 To recommend to Cabinet how the Isle of Wight Council can work with stakeholders to sustain and develop Island ports to meet the aspirations of the Island Plan. 1.2 To provide Island residents with sustainable cross Solent services. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS The Council will: 2.1. Encourage investment in existing terminals which will optimise their potential, efficiency and reduce the impact of peak flow congestion on the surrounding highway network and community. Consideration will need to be given to the visual impacts of any terminal development which are the gateways to the Island and impacts on surrounding activities. 2.2. Seek the co-operation of ferry service providers to ensure that where additional route carrying capacity is proposed the full consideration of shoreside impacts and provision of required new or upgraded infrastructure form part of the proposals. 2.3. Support the continuation of choice of routes and methods of crossing the Solent to ensure flexibility and reduce the risk of disruption to service and impact on Island business continuity. 2.4. In principle support opportunities for additional or alternative port facilities where these will secure the longer term sustainability of ferry services to the Island subject to provision (and ongoing maintenance) of adequate supporting 1 infrastructure. 2.5. Recognise the environmental sensitivity of the Island’s coast, much of which is subject to designations, and will fully consult and examine all alternatives when considering proposals for additional or alternative port facilities.

Photo Tony Richardson Black Jack - 1 News from Southampton A SUMMARY OF SOUTHAMPTONS PERFORMANCE IN 2002 The volume of cars, cruise-ship passengers, containers and export grain handled at Associated British Ports (ABP) Port of Southampton has continued to grow during 2002 in what was a strong and successful year for the South Coast port. In addition, tonnage of dry-bulk products imported through the ports multi-user bulks terminal also increased in 2002. The rise in throughput reinforces Southamptons position as the UKs undisputed premier cruise port; the number-one automotive port in the UK; home to one of the fastest-growing container terminals in the UK, and a growing force in the import dry bulks sector. The completion of the £4 million, five-level Southampton International Vehicle Terminal, in April 2002, to create much-needed additional capacity for the ports largest deep-sea roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) customer, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Lines - the world’s leading transporter of rolling cargo - has had a direct result on the volume of cars handled by ABP Southampton in 2002, with the number of vehicles handled rising by 23 per cent to 685,000. At the start of the year, Honda commenced shipments of UK-produced vehicles to the USA from a specialised terminal developed by ABP for the car manufacturer, who has chosen the port as its sole UK export hub.
