Progress
GCF have now completed their contract and a completion certificate is now awaited to allow occupancy of the facilities building. Due to global supply chain difficulties, and delays in delivery of some key components, Gael Force have had to push back the date for completion of floating infrastructure to mid-December.
Thanks to the availability of HCCF funding, work has been progressed in the meantime on surfacing works essential to meet planning consent, as well as car park lighting and an entrance barrier. Other items such as the marina management app, cashless systems, and bike shed are now also being pursued.

Next steps
Commissioning of the whole project is now planned for the beginning of next year, with active promotion of the marina about to commence. The opening of the community cafe, and the formal opening of the marina, will be coordinated with this revised timescale and with completion of finishing works.
Intense background activity is ongoing to conclude final and complex legal matters, and to ensure that the project finances - spanning three phases and multiple funders since 2017 - are closed out in a satisfactory manner.
