With a value of £2.7million, the contract will begin in early 2019, and include the design and construction of the pontoons, access bridges for the 250-berth marina, fuel tanks and pumps for the fuel berth and pontoons and an access bridge for the new boatyard.

Dave Herrod, DWDR Programme Director at the Port of Dover, said: “The appointment of Solent Marine Ltd represents another significant landmark for the Port and its customers.

“Whilst the exact date for opening of the new facilities has not yet been determined, it is likely to be in late 2019 and a comprehensive transition plan will be put in place leading up to the opening of the new facilities.”

Marc Simmonds, Managing Director of Solent Marine Ltd, said: “The Dover Western Docks Revival contract is a very prestigious project and turns full circle as my father Victor Simmonds installed pontoons at Dover dating back to the late 80’s.

“This was a project I wanted to win and we look forward to this being built in our new manufacturing facility on Hayling Island.”

The existing 160 berth Wellington Dock will now become a 24-hr facility accessible through a new navigable channel from the new marina into the dock and will be served by a lock providing a minimum of 2.5m deep access at low tide.

Chris Windsor, Marina Manager at the Port of Dover, said: “Relocated within the outer harbour and anticipated to be completed by the end of 2019, the new marina development will include finger berths for vessels up to 18m, fuel berth facilities, and a new boatyard and boat hoist.

“The range of services that will be provided will include Wi-Fi, potable water, LED lighting and electrical power to all leisure berths.

“The design of the new marina will be compliant with The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) design standards; set within the harbour and bordered by a new 550m long Marina Pier, and adjacent to the new 750m Marina Curve development area designed to host a waterfront retail and leisure experience.”

DWDR is the single biggest investment ever undertaken by the Port of Dover and this new 250-berth marina will form a key part of the redevelopment and serve as a catalyst for further regeneration.

Disney Cruise Line’s glorious ‘Disney Magic’ made her first call of the season this month. A beautiful, nostalgic ocean liner – she is always a pleasure to see in the historic Western Docks.

Celebrity Cruises ‘Celebrity Eclipse’ made her inaugural call at Dover. A magnificent Solstice-class cruise ship and at 317m with a capacity for 2,850 passengers she is the biggest to berth in the historic Western Docks to date. Whilst in dock she hosted the quarterly meeting of the members of CruiseBritain, a joint initiative between British cruise ports and service providers focussed on raising the profile of Britain as a world-class cruise destination.

Dover Cruise took the opportunity to treat the CruiseBritain delegates to a wonderful evening experiencing a true taste of Dover’s delights. The festivities began with a drinks reception at the beautifully refurbished Waterfront Bar & Lounge in the Dover Marina Hotel followed by a whistle-stop tour of Dover in an old Routemaster bus whilst listening to the vocal talents of the Swingtime Sweethearts, a successful local singing duo specialising in 1940’s wartime and swing. The bus tour ended at Dover Castle where the party continued in the exclusive Constable’s Tower; the largest gatehouse in England, with a delicious barbeque and more musical magic from the Swingtime Sweethearts and another local singing talent Nick Bosworth, who can also be seen regularly entertaining Dover Cruise passengers in the Terminals.

Port of Dover Head of Cruise, Sonia Limbrick said: “It was a privilege to host our Cruise Britain guests this month and give them a true Destination Dover experience. And an honour to have keynote speaker and Royal Caribbean’s Vice President (EMEA), Stuart Leven here to see Dover Cruise in action.

“Everyone agreed it was a wonderful occasion and a good time was had by all. My thanks go to those mentioned above and, to keep it local, suppliers including Hush Heath vineyard, Breakwater Brewery & Taproom and English Heritage who provided in-house catering at their venue, Dover Castle, for helping to make it a resounding success.

“July has been another busy month at Dover Cruise and it was wonderful to once again host our regular cruise visitors including Saga, Fred Olsen and Princess.”

Kay Greenway, CruiseBritain said: ”CruiseBritain members were delighted to take up Celebrity’s invitation to spend the day aboard Celebrity Eclipse in Dover. It was a privilege to hold our meeting on board this beautiful vessel and our thanks to Stuart Leven and Lotfi Trabelsi of Royal Caribbean International. It was also a marvellous opportunity to visit the Port of Dover and hear first-hand of the exciting Western Docks Revival plans; the Port’s hospitality was second to none and sincere thanks go to Sonia Limbrick at the Port, English Heritage who generously opened the Constable’s Tower in Dover Castle and to the Dover Marina Hotel. ”

To date over 15 different contractors have been involved all contributing their own specialist skills at the different stages of the programme.

The Principal Contractor for the Marine Civils and Bridge contract, VSBW, – a joint venture between VolkerStevin Boskalis Westminster – accounts for two thirds of those hours.

Working closely with both their own initiative, Safety Ripple, which ensures that everyone on site is engaged and responsible for safety, and the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), underpins how a strong behavioural safety culture has been formed resulting in no serious accidents or incidents being recorded in their 680,000 site-based hours.

Former contractors, GRAHAM, who delivered the enabling works based on the Hoverport and Prince of Wales Pier clocked-up over 42,000 hours, and Jackson Civil Engineering, who were responsible for the A20 Junction Improvement Scheme to replace York and Union Street roundabouts into the current computerised traffic light system, clocked-up over 64,000 hours.

Kevin Williams, Senior Project Manager at the Port of Dover, said: “This is a real achievement and milestone. From the outset a key contract initiative has been to employ as many personnel as possible to ensure that the benefit is felt locally and in the East Kent Region.

“To date 29% of the workforce has been employed locally, 48% living within the East Kent region and the investment contribution to the economy, from VSBW’s contract alone, has reached £136million.

“This milestone underpins the regenerative effect the development has started to have and is the catalyst for attracting future long-term investment to Dover and the Port.”

To add to the challenge of running a safe and efficient site, and with currently four different Principal Contractors each trying to deliver their own packages of work alongside each other, cooperation and logistics planning has been key to maintaining programme and a safe working environment.

Recognition was underlined by the recently awarded ‘Exceptional’ status from CCS, which highlights how the team has exceeded key safety requirements and constantly engaged with all sections of the community to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.

2. VSBW

VSBW is a joint venture between VolkerStevin and Boskalis Westminster to deliver the marine structures and bridge contract for the Port of Dover’s flagship Dover Western Docks Revival (DWDR) development.

With a contract value of £115m, this construction stage will include the design and build of two new berths including quay walls and land reclamation, a new marina pier, the marina curve, navigation channel and new lock gates, Bascule Bridge and capital dredging work.

David Frazer, from Maidstone, graduated from Anglia Ruskin University in 2014 with a BSc in Building Surveying before joining the team as a Graduate Building Surveyor.

With a determination to become Chartered before the first stages of DWDR were completed, David took on some huge challenges as a graduate – including overseeing the Level 3 Heritage Recording surveys which included recording 180,000 images of every asset located within and around the immediate DWDR boundary. He was also part of the tender process for the £115m marine structures and bridge contract and project managed various aspects of the enabling works, which also included refurbishment of the project offices.

“Working on a development of this scale and magnitude has given me the opportunity to experience different aspects of construction such as major civils, infrastructure, services and buildings of different types which, along with the heritage elements dealing with listed building consents, will be invaluable in moving forward in my career.”

As part of his tailored graduate programme, and following his ambition to become a Charted Surveyor, David jumped at the opportunity to be seconded to work with the Port’s Development and Maintenance team in the Eastern Docks last year.

“During my 12 months at the Eastern Docks I was able to utilise the skills I had developed from the DWDR development to survey, design and manage multiple flat refurbishments from inception through to design and construction.

“I also carried out building maintenance inspections and defect rectification whilst managing expectations and relationships with key tenants such as UK Border Force.”

David has also taken the initiative to bring new techniques to the team at the Port. As a qualified unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pilot David has enabled the DWDR team to use aerial videos and imagery  to record progress  and  condition surveys alongside 3D-imagery of structures for refurbishment works. He has created point cloud data to ground map the topography for site evaluation and quantification of material volumes.

Since completing his graduate programme in 2016, David has become a permanent member of the team working on DWDR and is now supervising the Refrigerated Cargo Terminal (RCT) contract and Assistant Project Manager for the Dover Marina Control Building construction.

“Dover Western Docks Revival is a massive project and to have my first job here was something I’ll never forget. This is going to be a hard one to top in the future,” says David.

Kevin Williams, Senior Project Manager at the Port of Dover, said: “Today’s developments of significance offer graduates the opportunities to become captains of the industry in the future.

“David’s enthusiasm, love for the project and new techniques, such as the drone surveys, are testament to why graduate programmes for large-scale civil engineering projects have such a huge success.”

One of those women in question is Paula Cruttenden, a project manager with VolkerStevin.

Paula is in fact a local girl, born in the area and educated at St Edmunds Catholic School in Dover before leaving to complete a BTech in Building and Construction studies in Folkestone. Paula then went on to university in London – Queen Mary and Westfield, where she attained her degree in Civil Engineering and Project Management.

After graduation, Paula openly admits: “I knew what I wanted to do with my career, but I honestly didn’t know how to get into the industry”, so she decided to go freelance with the ultimate goal of working her way up through the ranks in engineering.

Paula has worked on a variety of high profile projects in different industries, including marine, railway and building projects such as the iconic Shard building in London, Battersea power station and even the Olympics.

“I started my career as a setting out engineer, was then promoted to senior engineer and then site manager. I then worked my way up to construction manager and project manager”, says Paula.

“Being freelance has given me a great deal of flexibility to try out new experiences and develop my knowledge and expertise. Becoming Chartered has never been high on my radar and fortunately in my varied 21 year career has never been a requirement.”

When asked if Paula liked being ‘back home’, she said: “It is strange to only have a 25 minute commute to work at the moment and to know the area in which I am working, but a real pleasure too.”

As a working mother with a young son, Paula is very keen to not only ensure a good work/life balance, but also to demonstrate being a good role model for her son for the future.

Paula also said: “I am immensely proud and privileged to be working with an outstanding team who have gone the extra mile in delivering this challenging programme, and who are committed to maintaining the highest standards while ensuring the work is completed on time.

“The DWDR development is definitely close to my heart and is a pleasure to work on, as it is not only a prestigious and innovative project in terms of engineering and delivery, but it will also have a lasting legacy for my home town.”

Dover Harbour Board is pleased to announce that the Secretary of State for Transport has appointed Perry Glading as a Non-Executive Director following the expiry of Erik Østergaard’s terms of appointment.

Perry is Chair of a Board of Governors at an Independent School in Ipswich and also chairs the Thurrock Business Board, which includes Non-Executive Board positions with OSE (Opportunity South East) and the SELEP (South East Local Enterprise Partnership).

Previously, he was employed for a total of 18 years by Forth Ports Ltd where he held the roles of managing director, port of Tilbury for 12 years and later, chief operating officer for the entire Forth Ports Group responsible for all operations, health & safety, risk management, commercial agreements, asset utilisation planning and setting Group strategy. Prior to this he held various positions for Geest North Sea Line, a Dutch container shipping line for 21 years culminating in the role of main board director.

Richard Everitt CBE, Chairman, Dover Harbour Board, said: “Perry joins the Board at a unique and historic time for the port of Dover and our entire nation. Contributing to a port business that is fundamental to our national economy and that of our European partners will offer its challenges and opportunities during this transitional period and I have every confidence that his vast experience in shipping and operational port management will be an invaluable asset as we continue to shape the future port business.”

Perry Glading said: “Now is an exciting time of regeneration and transformation at the port of Dover and I am delighted to be joining the Board that will oversee the culmination and success of the port’s major development in the Western Docks and contributing to a positive and productive future for Dover and the port.”

Mr Glading’s term of office commenced on 1st July 2018. 

In the biggest upgrade of its kind for 14 years, harbour masters are overseeing £1.4 million of investment in cutting edge technology at Europe’s busiest ferry port to ensure shipping and recreational marine stakeholders continue to have the highest standards of protection and advice available.

Specialists have already installed a new tide gauge – the first of a suite of state-of-the-art environmental monitoring systems that will ultimately give maritime traffic live feeds on sea and weather conditions in the port.

Engineering teams are now looking to create temporary accommodation at Dover’s Terminal Control Building to house vessel traffic services officers while their Port Control facilities are extensively refurbished.

In November, the port will upgrade existing radar equipment on both the Eastern Arm and Admiralty Pier. An additional radar will be installed on the new marina pier facility currently being constructed as part of the Dover Western Docks Revival programme.

These new radars will link to improved CCTV cameras, each equipped with thermal imaging capabilities that will give Port Control Officers greater ability to track, target, record and intercept vessels navigating dangerously.

Steve Masters, the Port of Dover’s Harbour Master, said: “This is a major investment in port maritime safety which will serve the UK, seafarers and passengers for years to come. We have been fastidious in keeping our existing systems effective and fully operational, but the latest work will take the port’s maritime safety management compliance abilities to a whole new level, in line with continued industry best practice guidance from the UK’s Port Marine Safety Code.

“The work we are doing not only benefits those who use the sea, but also supports households and businesses across the country who rely on a smooth, safe operation in Dover to facilitate the movement of 17 percent of the UK’s entire trade in goods, worth £122 billion to the economy.”

There were 1,760 commercial shipping, 36,331 ferry and around 9,500 leisure craft movements through the port during 2017.

During this period, the port registered a significant drop in safety incidents within its main operational areas. Ferry incidents fell by 16 per cent (25 in 2016 compared to 21 in 2017), commercial shipping incidents were down by 25 per cent (eight in 2016 compared to six in 2017) and recreational boating saw a fall of 53 per cent (152 incidents in 2016 to 71 in 2017).

In total, there were 266 safety incidents of varying degrees last year, ranging from communications issues (where leisure craft failed to notify port control of their intentions) to a man overboard on a construction barge.

The drop in incidents coincided with a major port navigational awareness drive which saw the maritime safety team publish a vessel traffic services guide, produce a public safety film on navigating the Port of Dover, hold safety workshops with local marine stakeholders, and invest £10,000 in new safety signage for bathers and beach users.

With good weather on their side, the famous endurance challenge took place on Saturday 7 July, whereby 8 employees from the Port and one from VSWB took on 26 miles of rough terrain to climb the three largest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Snowdon) all within a 24 hour period.

Climbing approximately 3,000m – the equivalent of walking one third of the way up Mount Everest – the challenge was organised by project staff working on the DWDR development who began training in May with the aim to raise £2,500 for the pioneering charity ‘Teenage Cancer Trust’.

David Frazer, DWDR Building Surveyor at the Port of Dover, said: “The 3 Peaks Challenge was exactly that – challenging! It was a great achievement, and our programme of training led by our Project Manager Steve Rawlings definitely paid off. We are very proud to have taken part in this very worthwhile cause.”

Around seven young people aged between 13 and 24 are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK. They need expert treatment and support from the moment they hear the word ‘cancer’ and Teenage Cancer Trust are the only charity dedicated to supporting young people affected by cancer.

Young people with cancer need specialised nursing and emotional support. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity meeting this critical need. Right now the charity can only help half of young people with cancer with their world-leading nursing.

Teenage Cancer Trust doesn’t have enough nurses. To help every young person with cancer get the specialised nursing they desperately need please make a donation to DWDR’s fundraising page, via: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/dwdr3peakchallenge.

Recognising her talent and knowledge of the Port; Belle was employed in November last year after graduating and she relocated to work in Dover as an Environmental Advisor and CEEQUAL Assessor for the DWDR project.

“It’s a real privilege to be part of such a prestigious project which has such a wide array of experienced project managers, engineers and other professions which has been instrumental in my career progression.” Ms. Sierina said.

As well as her responsibility to deliver the CEEQUAL requirements Ms. Sierina’s wider remit is to ensure that all contractor’s environmental impacts are managed and that legal compliance is competently maintained.

The construction of DWDR has environmental sustainability at its core – throughout the specification, design and construction – by carefully considering the possible impact in areas including: the historic environment, transportation efficiency, water environment, physical resources as well as wider areas of ecological and social sustainability. As environmental issues remain a key element of the delivery, Belle’s remit as full-time environmental advisor has been a key to demonstrating commitment that sustainability is at the heart of the project.

Dave Herrod, DWDR Programme Director at the Port of Dover, said: “I am delighted that the Port has been able to attract talented young professionals like Belle, who are full of such enthusiasm, knowledge and intelligence backed up with relevant academic achievements. 

“Dover Western Docks Revival’s ethos is to leave a ‘lasting legacy’; and part of that ethos is to create opportunities for graduates and apprentices on a very real and engaging project.”
