Ocean Quay Management, advised by Chesterton Humberts, has let a 15,000 sq ft (1,393 sq m) waterside boat building facility and two offices, at Ocean Quay Marina, Belvidere Road, Southampton to three new tenants.

Southampton Marine Services, the specialist ship building, ship repairs and steel fabrication company, which operates across all aspects of the marine industry, has taken unit 1, comprising a 15,000 sq ft (1,393 sq m) boat building facility with direct water access, on a new 10-year lease at a stepped rent rising to £86,950 pa in the fifth year.

In addition, Allied Healthcare has taken 2,000 sq ft (186 sq m) of office space on a 5-year lease at a rent of £12,700 pa. And Firstaway Yacht Charters have taken office space on a new licence.

Craig Powell, Associate Director in the specialist Marine Property Team at Chesterton Humberts, comments: “Ocean Quay has proved popular due to its great location and generous car parking facilities. In addition, the industrial unit provides the additional space required for a dedicated ship building hall for vessels up to 30m x 10m with the additional benefit of an 80m x 15m wet berth in order to allow water based repairs if required.”

Robert Gray of Southampton Marine Services said “Following two highly successful years at Hythe Marine Park we are pleased to confirm our relocation to Ocean Quay Marina and anticipate that this move will allow us to further expand and innovate in our specialist ship building and repair services.”

Existing occupiers at the 3 acre (1.21 hectare) Marine Business Park, include Bowman Power and SeaStar Survey.
