Portland Naval Base

Summary

Portland Naval Base and harbour provide an interesting opportunity for a range of possible investments when MOD vacates the site in 1996. Deepwater berthage allied to a limited tidal range adjacent to vessel support facilities and general services are located within a man made outer harbour. High sea water quality makes the area attractive to aquaculturists and shell fishermen alike.
