The negotiations to buy Kingston have been protracted and challenging, but finally very worthwhile. The Harbour Commissioners consider securing and maintaining commercial wharfs and marine service sites is fundamental to the long-term prosperity of the harbour and the local economy. It is vital to continue incremental investment into marine services and infrastructure to ensure that marine business and job creation can continue to prosper in Cowes and the Medina Valley

CHC Buys Kingston Wharf
Cowes Harbour Commission is pleased to announce that they recently completed the purchase of Kingston Wharf, which was previously owned by National Grid Properties. The £2 million strategic investment by the Commission is aimed at securing this important marine services site and commercial shipping wharf for the long-term benefit of the harbour and its stakeholders.
 

It protects the future of the site as a home for a wide range of marine services in Cowes, as well as the Commission's own harbour services and boatyard operations, which have been located at Kingston since 1999.

Kingston Wharf is also of strategic importance to the Isle of Wight as it facilitates the import of bulk oil by ship to the Island's only oil terminal operated by Pace Petroleum and the aggregate facility operated by Hall Aggregates. These two important wharfs are now secured in the custody of Cowes Harbour Commission.

   

Kingston Wharf comprises 3.52 hectares (8.7 acres) of marine industrial land, which includes 1300 sqm of buildings and additional workshops, boatyard facilities and commercial wharfs.

 

Buying the freehold enables Cowes Harbour Commission to further establish and expand Kingston Marine Boatyard and Kingston Marine Services. KMB and KMS are part of Cowes Harbour Commission, and provide services to boat owners, yacht clubs, marinas and marine operators across the Solent.
