Marina Management has requested that all berth holders note that the pumping of bilges/sea toilets directly into the Marina Basin is illegal and must cease immediately.

They also want you to know that:-

1.                  Carrickfergus Borough Council has a legal responsibility to produce a Port Waste Management Plan for submission to the MCA for approval

2.                  Carrickfergus Borough Council also has a legal responsibility to comply with ‘Marpol’ Regulations

3.                  Under ‘Marpol’ regulations it is a criminal Offence to dispose of any waste products within a 3 mile radius of the coast with substances such as oil or fuel prohibited under any circumstances

4.                  Pumping bilges/sea toilets directly into the Marina Basin has serious Health & Safety implications

5.                  Carrickfergus Marina has a purpose built Pump-Out Facility within the Marina Basin……..

6.                  Carrick Marine Projects have a waste oil and fuel disposal facility …….

The RYA and BMF, representing recreational boat users and the leisure boating industries, want to see the marine environment protected for the enjoyment of all. We support these port waste management regulations, whose aim is to make sure there can never be any justification for dumping boat waste overboard……..

Marina Staff are more than happy to assist both Berth Holders and Visitors with the use of the pump out facility, but it is imperitive that this illegal practice ceases forthwith.  Operational staff will be monitoring the situation closely and will be vigilant in trying to identify any offending boat owners.

Regards

Ken Baird

CMBHA Chair

They need to be repainted or recovered in a strong colour/reflective material.

On good weekends we struggle to find a space in the Marina West car park amongst all the Mc Donalds carry out club members or patrons of the Windrose. Many of the spaces behind the Marina Office (signed berth holders only) are permanently occupied. Are these live- aboard berth holders?
It would be helpful to know what parking benefits are available exclusively for berth holders!

The RNLI had advised that over 50% of their rescues were to leisure boats.  The Management ofCarrickfergus Marina wish to give their support and to participate in the scheme offering customers who take out an Annual Contract, One Years Free Membership.  All necessary forms and a brief explanation will be included in berth holders’ new contract packs…..
