THE VITAL ROLE OF PLYMOUTH’S CATTEWATER

Plymouth’s Cattewater Harbour plays a vital role in servicing the South West economy, and its maritime and shore teams are working hard over the festive and New Year holidays.

The Cattewater Harbour Commissioners crucial roles in supporting commercial shipping and leisure harbour activities, but also strategically work with city partnerships, new and innovative businesses, and established companies and organisations.

The investment in Commercial Wharf and the Barbican Landing Stage has contributed to the growth of global superyachts visiting the city, more cruise ships, and leisure passengers to Plymouth.
