  • Modernising Trust Ports [Second Edition] I
    Modernising Trust Ports [second edition] i. Introduction This is the second edition of Modernising Trust Ports (MTP). The first was published in 2000 by the then Department for the Environment, Transport and the Regions, and followed a review of the trust ports sector that focused principally on corporate governance and accountability. That review highlighted a need for a general improvement in the openness and accountability with which trust ports conduct their business, and prompted the Department to stipulate governance guidelines which it expected all trust port boards to use as the benchmark of best practice — Modernising Trust Ports. A similar exercise was undertaken with respect to municipal ports. The general improvement sought by the Government has been widely in evidence in the years since then, and the sector should be congratulated for the considerable strides it has taken in this direction. In 2006 the successor Department for Transport embarked upon a thorough review of ports policy, in light of devolution in the UK planning and political systems, and the evolution of global trading patterns. The review looked among other things at the future of the mixed ports sector, including the outlook for trust ports in the coming decades. This was set against the backdrop of the decision by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) in 2001 to classify the largest trust ports as public corporations, which had the effect of placing those ports’ borrowing on the Department’s accounts, and the relevant ports' subsequent applications, now on hold, to remove themselves from perceived public sector controls through the pursuit of appropriate Harbour Revision Orders (HROs).

  • UKHO Releases Enhanced Chart Coverage of Bridgwater Bay
    Press Release 28 February 2019 UKHO releases enhanced chart coverage of Bridgwater Bay UK Hydrographic Office produces upgraded chart to support developments in Somerset The Taunton-headquartered UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) has released a new chart providing enhanced coverage of Bridgwater Bay and the River Parrett. The upgraded chart is available as both an Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) and in paper format, helping mariners to plan and execute safe and efficient voyages, supporting wider infrastructure development in the area as well as benefiting the local economy. The chart covers the approach to the River Parrett across Bridgwater Bay and south-eastwards to the river berths of Combwich and Dunball. Supporting and enabling safe passage at sea is at the core of what the UKHO does, and the upgraded chart is essential for safe operational use of the Hinkley Point C Harbour to transport construction materials and equipment for the immense construction project. The UKHO worked closely with the Harbour Masters at Hinkley Point C Harbour and Port of Bridgwater to define the new chart limits and scale, along with ensuring that appropriate hydrographic surveys and details of the new developments were available to produce the chart. Chris Berkley, Master Mariner and Product Manager at UKHO, commented: “We are pleased to be able to release new and improved scale electronic and paper charts which give ships access to more detailed, highly accurate information that can support safe passage. To be able to support infrastructure development close to our headquarters and provide mariners with the tools they need to navigate Bridgwater Bay with confidence is a great example of how the local economy can benefit from our expertise.” ---------------------- ENDS Notes to Editors About the UK Hydrographic Office The UK Hydrographic Office is a leading centre for hydrography, providing marine geospatial data to inform maritime decisions.
