Councillor Andrew Kain, Chair of the Harbour Board, said:
鈥淔ew areas in Scotland need their council to run ports and harbours. With the highest number of inhabited islands however, P站色情片 and Bute needs its council to deliver the considerable investment and expertise required for effective marine services.
There are challenges in running 39 ports and harbours. However, the council鈥檚 Marine Operations Service is working not only to provide these vital services, but to do so at a standard higher than most other UK ports and harbours. I welcome this level of ambition for P站色情片 and Bute.鈥
The Harbour Board also considered an update on the progress the council is making in gaining the Port Marine Safety Code (PMSC) - a good practice standard that few ports and harbours in the UK have secured.
The current list of 230+ ports, published by The Department for Transport as complying with the Code, represents around 14% of UK ports and 30% of Statutory Harbour Authorities.
The PMSC is additional to other mandatory requirements for running ports and harbours.
