I referred generically to 'the dock' not specifically Wellington, which I am well aware is to be retained. The River Dour Partnership of which I am a committee member obviously have an interest in this, and through South East River Trust have been in discussion with DHB over flows through the modified Wellington Dock, which are important for fish migration.
My generic reference included Granville Dock (133 berths), the tidal marina (107 berths) and a considerable part of the operational area in the Western end - why else would they need (how many?) million tons of the Goodwins.
re the nice little earner, I do believe The Captain has mentioned he keeps his own boat in the Wellington Dock, which due to limited accessibility over the tide compared to Granville and the 24h tidal marina is the marine equivalent of 'the cheap seats'
