MDL’s Chatham Maritime Marina will be able to provide its berth holders with even greater space, thanks to the official opening of 60 new marina berths. The new pontoons, which represent an important investment in the Kent marina, were officially opened by the Mayor of Medway, Councillor Mrs Josie Iles, this week.

The construction work forms part of the Chatham Maritime Project, with MDL Marinas – Europe’s largest marina operator – working in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency and Chatham Maritime Trust as part of extensive regeneration works in the area. Cllr Mrs Iles and other invited guests were treated to a tour of the marina by boat, learning more about the important maritime history of the area, before stepping onto the new pontoons for the official opening ceremony.
Dean Smith, Marketing Director at MDL Marinas, commented: “We are committed to investing in our marinas, and these new berths will allow even more boat owners access to both the beautiful cruising opportunities in the Medway Estuary and the renowned MDL customer service that people using the new berths will experience. The local area has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, and we are proud to be part of this, whilst also ensuring our customer service and locations are of the very highest standards.
“We were delighted to welcome the Mayor and our other guests to this important occasion and look forward to seeing the new berths being well used this summer.”
