A major upgrade is set to improve fuel services at a busy marina.

Premier Marinas is boosting its unleaded fuel storage at Gosport Marina from 6,000 litres to 30,000 litres as part of an investment in excess of £370,000.

The fuel pontoon will close to all vessels from October 19 for approximately six weeks, subject to weather conditions, to allow the work to take place.

Jonathan Walcroft, marina manager at Gosport Marina, said: "Increasing our unleaded storage capacity to 30,000 litres will make a substantial difference to the reliability of the service we can provide.

"We appreciate that the temporary closure will cause some disruption, and we are 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 cost benefit.

The upgraded facility is expected to provide improved reliability for all users once complete.
