The
Port of Milford Haven is planning a development costing in excess of £60million
to create a new waterfront destination in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire. 

As
part of this, Milford Marina is set to undergo a massive transformation with a
new marina village, more berthing locations and additional facilities for berth
holders.

The
latest development follows the marina’s recent improvement works, which include
replacement decking; the installation, re-wiring and connection of new bollards;
new, automatic LED lighting; new safety ladders and SOS points.


In readiness
for the start of this year’s boating season, the team have been busy installing
free Wi-Fi, planning a programme of events for berth holders and partnering
with other marinas to offer discounts for those who want to travel around
different locations.

Kevin
Hobbs, Short Sea Director for the Port of Milford Haven, said: ‘We’re extremely
excited about our plans for the future. Berth holders will benefit
from additional on-shore attractions, first rate facilities and a further
choice of berthing locations.

‘We
also expect to attract additional visitors to this stunning part of West
Wales.’

Milford Marina was recently assessed under The Yacht Harbour Association’s (TYHA) prestigious Gold Anchor Scheme and awarded 4 Gold Anchors – out of a possible five.

One of the marina’s key assets is its stunning location with the UK’s only coastal National Park. The waterway goes out through ‘The Heads’ to the scenic and stunning Pembrokeshire coast line.

The islands of Skomer and Skokholm lie just off the headland, both of which are internationally important sea bird colonies, such as puffins.
 
TYHA assessor, Gareth Turnbull said: ‘There are some great services on offer at Milford Haven Marina, particularly the positive customer service that the marina team provide. It was a pleasure to assess them and they deserve their 4 Gold Anchors.’
