Scarborough Harbour’s highly anticipated new boat hoist will not be delayed by the ongoing regeneration project for the West Pier,
Addressing concerns about the interdependence of the two projects, Chris Bourne, North Yorkshire Council’s head of harbours, clarified that while the boat hoist does rely on certain localised reinforcements to the pier, it is not contingent upon the wider pier strengthening project associated with the regeneration.
Chris Bourne says that while parts of the pier do need strengthening work, the boat hoist project has been designed as a stand-alone development.
To ensure the boat hoist's functionality and safety, specialized marine engineering firm A2 Marine has designed isolated strengthening measures for the section of the pier where the hoist's finger piers connect. This will involve reinforcing a few meters of pier on either side of the connection point, ensuring stability for the 150-tonne boat hoist as it manoeuvrers across the pier.
Chris Bourne emphasised that the boat hoist project, including necessary pier reinforcements, has been designed as a stand-alone project, independent of the broader pier strengthening initiative. This approach ensures that the boat hoist project can progress without being hindered by the timeline or potential delays of the larger pier regeneration.
