Medway and Swale Boating Association

Owing to recent squat mooring issues and an electrical assessment of the pontoons at Sun Pier, Medway Council has suspended public day mooring until further notice.

Only emergency services and river tour operators will have access to the pontoons whilst further assessments are made, and repairs organised.

In addition to the suspension, Medway Council plans to remove the pontoons for dry docking and repairs in early September for a period of 6 weeks before being reinstated to provide improved mooring facilities.

“Improvements to Commodore’s Hard The Strand”

The MSBA is pleased to advise that Medway Council has secured some funding to undertake surface repairs to the slipway at The Commodore’s Hard. These improvements include constructing a concrete pad to complete the end of the access road where it meets the beach.
The concrete will be more resistant to the salt water and reduce future maintenance costs in addition to a hatched area to provide additional access for emergency vehicles.
These improvements will be undertaken during weekdays over the coming months but may mean the slipway is out of use for a couple of days at a time”
