Details
On 26 November 2021, Portsmouth City Council made a formal application to the Marine Management Organisation (“MMO”) under Section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964 for a Harbour Revision Order (“HRO”).
If made, the proposed HRO would align previously separate statutory undertakings and miscellaneous pieces of local legislation to allow the Council to manage both the Portsmouth International Port and Camber Docks under predominantly one Harbour Order with consistent statutory provisions and a central reserve fund.
In addition, this HRO would consolidate and modernise the statutory harbour powers of the Portsmouth International Port and the Camber Harbour (“the Port”). This includes provisions relating to powers of general and special direction, the making of byelaws, navigational safety, conservation, dredging, moorings, bunkering, levying of charges and use of port revenue and clarification of the Port’s limits. Further detail is included within the supporting documents for this application.
More information about the proposals can be viewed in the statement in support and the draft HRO.
The statutory 42-day public consultation on the HRO starts on 02 March 2023 and ends on 12 April 2023.
Any person desiring to make an objection or representation concerning the application should write to:
Marine Licensing Team
Marine Management Organisation

i. Be received before the expiry of a period of 42-days consultation period;
