Core Policy
Provide and invest in
marine services and
facilities that are market-
led and customer
focused, adding value
to the “Cowes offer”
and maintaining a
commercial return
for CHC and our
stakeholders.
Cowes Harbour Commission (CHC) delivers a range of commercial marine services to
complement those available within the harbour and Solent area.
CHC is self-financing and has a policy to invest in developing marine services that are
strategically important for the harbour, and particularly where it is evident that other
private sector parties are reticent to invest. Any surpluses from these marine service
activities are then ploughed back to support the provision of harbour services, enable port
developments, and deliver stakeholder dividends for the long-term benefit of all harbour
users and stakeholders. They are also important in reducing the reliance on harbour dues.
It is CHC’s policy to aim to deliver excellence in customer service satisfaction, value for
money, and to ensure transparency in managing competition between CHC’s marine
businesses and stakeholder businesses in accordance with MTP (Modernising Trust Ports)
Guidance.
