Gosport Marina will close its fuel pontoon for six weeks from October 19 for a £370,000 upgrade.

Gosport Marina will close its fuel pontoon for approximately six weeks from 19 October for a £370,000 upgrade to boost fuel services at the busy marina.

Premier Marinas is expanding unleaded fuel storage from 6,000 litres to 30,000 litres. The closure is subject to weather conditions. Jonathan Walcroft, marina manager at Gosport Marina, said the increase in storage capacity will 'make a substantial difference to the reliability of the service we can provide'.

Walcroft acknowledged that the temporary closure will cause disruption and said the company is giving customers and harbour users as much notice as possible. During the closure, Premier berth holders will be able to use the fuel facility at Port Solent Marina and continue to access Premier Advantage's fuel at a cost benefit. The upgraded facility is expected to provide improved reliability for all users once complete.
