Reason for the Decision

Harbour operations have been reviewed and assessed throughout the period by the Designated Person which highlighted some compliance issues. This included the requirement of a Marine Safety Plan and a list of other issues requiring attention. These issues were outlined and timetabled for action at Harbours Committee on 28 September 2022. This report presents a draft Marine Safety Plan for consideration and progress towards delivering other actions. By addressing these issues, we can ensure Dorset Council’s harbours are complaint with the Port Marine Safety Code.
