Port of Ramsgate - Future Delivery Project
From: Cabinet - Thursday, 26th June, 2025 7.00 pm - June 26, 2025
A report was presented to Cabinet to update on the Port of Ramsgate Future Delivery Project which focuses upon the long term sustainability of the Port of Ramsgate. This includes the concession operator procurement process which started in August 2024 and was formally abandoned in January 2025. The report recommended that previously approved plans to implement a concession port operator model, supported by a grant from Pathfinder funding, be formally ended. The report set out that this proposal did not change the overarching objectives for the port, which include ending the revenue deficit position and delivering a sustainable solution for the port in the long term. The report also recommended that further options be developed to deliver a sustainable long term solution for the port, with those options being brought back to Cabinet in the autumn of 2025. The report also described the rationale for reallocating £7.6m of Ramsgate Pathfinder funding away from the Port Future Delivery Project due to the deadline for spending that funding. That recommendation is the subject of a separate report to Cabinet.
Recommendations Approved
