French and British marinas work together to improve quality of service and leisure boating links

 

We are pleased to announce that the Marinas of Sovereign, Dover, Ramsgate, Boulogne, Gravline, Dunkirk, Etaples sur Mer and Calais have been successful in gaining Interreg IIIA EEC grant support to establish joint working partnerships.

 

The objective of the partnership is to improve customer care, exchange of professional expertise, provide a joint approach to marketing, explore common environmental issues and extend the leisure boating season.

 

This initiative will further strengthen the links between British and French marina operators within the Nord Pas de Calais region and provide improved leisure boating services.

 

The lead partners for this project will be Syndicat Mixte de la Cote d’Opale for the French partners and Thanet District Council for the British partners. It is anticipated that other marinas on both sides of the channel will be given an opportunity to assist in the objectives of this initiative and a wonderful opportunity for French and British marina’s to improve the package offered to visiting yachtsmen.
