Port of Ramsgate Future Delivery - Project Decisions
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 18th December, 2025 7.00 pm - December 18, 2025
A report was presented to Cabinet to update on the Port of Ramsgate Future Delivery Project and to propose recommendations on next steps. The objectives of the project are to end the revenue deficit position at the port and deliver a sustainable long-term solution that removes financial and legal risk. The solution must also avoid local financial contribution to any capital costs. This follows the decision of Cabinet on 26 June 2025, not to implement a previous decision to progress a plan for a Multi Purpose Hybrid model of operation for the Port. Since June 2025 officers have scoped ten high level options for the future of the port. The report updates on the option scoping work and proposes that six of the options be discounted and that further work be done to develop the remaining four options. The report also proposes that a Harbour Revision Order process be commenced without delay and that short term income opportunities be further explored and implemented.
