MAINTENANCE DREDGING - HASLAR MARINA

1. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the King’s Harbour Master Portsmouth that maintenance dredging operations will take place within Haslar Marina, Gosport, from 1 September to mid-October 2025.

2. The work will be undertaken by Jenkins Marine Ltd utilising the 30.1m LOA Backhoe Dredger “DOREEN DORWARD”. The spoil will be loaded into one of two 44.1m LOA self-propelled split hopper barges “NAB” or “NEEDLES” for disposal at the Nab spoil ground. Operations will be conducted daily between 0600 and 2100 Monday to Friday, with the option to work weekends should such be required due to unfavourable weather during the weekdays. Vessels will display the appropriate shapes and signals when conducting their operations.

3. Additionally, to assist with this campaign, the ‘Sealift’ facility will be relocated to the eastern end of ‘G’ pontoon for approximately one week from the 1 September. This will reduce the navigable width of the navigation channel by 18m (Figure 1).
