Issue details

To approve the procurement and purchase of a new boat hoist for the Ramsgate Royal Harbour

 

 

The existing boat hoist at Ramsgate Royal Harbour is 30 years old and is showing signs of wear. Due to the age of the vehicle keeping it in a suitable operational condition will incur large costs, which are not currently accounted for in the Ramsgate Royal Harbour budget. The existing boat hoist still holds some residual resale value offering a saving on the new vehicle purchase. The boat hoist is a key asset to Ramsgate Royal Harbour, generating a large amount of income through its use and the boat hardstanding area.
