MDL Marinas will complete Chatham Marina with additional berths opening up on the River Medway, by a £500,000 expansion.

The Kent facility has added 54 new moorings, which will be available, and the development also includes a new pontoon, alongside the marina’s Historic Dockyard. The new 80-acre site also features galleries, museums and warships from the Age of Sail.

“The marina is at the heart of a multi-million-pound leisure and retail development, so it made sense for us to invest in these additional berths and the pontoon to accommodate the extra interest”, said Michael Glanville, group head of operations at MDL Marinas.

MDL Marinas is the UK’s largest marina chain with 18 facilities including Ocean Village, Hamble Point,  Penton Hook and Cobb’s Quay.
