A key area of focus for our marinas team of late, has been to review our emergency procedures and equipment.
This article provides a guideline for all our marina users, for what to do in case of an emergency, and introduces the equipment available.

FIRE On Vessels

• Call fire and emergency services on 111.
• Please evacuate the jetty & warn other people on the jetties of the danger.

• Equipment such as fire extinguishers and hose reels are available on the jetties. A full review of the equipment we have has been undertaken and additional equipment is being installed across all three marinas. Please familiarise yourself with what fire equipment there is around you. In case of a fire event, please carefully assess the situation, this equipment can be used at your own risk.
