Purpose

In February 2019, the harbour authority
obtained cabinet approval to the value of £1.05m to invest in
improvements to harbour infrastructure. Among the proposed
improvements was the creation of new pontoon moorings at Capricorn
Quay. This will:
a) help address the demand for moorings generated by a waiting list
of boaters wishing to berth their vessel in Bristol Harbour
b) create new additional moorings to assist the harbour authority
in reaching its objective of becoming financially
self-sustainable.
