Stop the Estuary Airport (Posted 015.02.10)
As you may be aware, Boris Johnson has plans for an airport slap bang in the middle of the Thames Estuary. Should this go project ahead, the consequences for our cruising environment will be dire. To that end, the MYA has pledged it's support to the Stop the Estuary Airport campaign which is being headed up by Medway Council, Kent County Council and the RSPB.

Kingsferry Bridge (Posted 03.06.09)
We are still getting reports of craft being kept waiting for no apparent good reason, plus other incidents, at the bridge,
The bridge should operate as follows:
Monday to Saturday the bridge is able to open at 20 minutes past the hour and 10 to the hour.On Sundays it is able to open on the hour. It cannot lift more than three times in two hours as the motors overheat. So if you arrive for an opening and it has already opened on the last three published opening times you will have to wait at least an hour for the motors to cool down. It is therefore in your own best interests to contact the bridge keeper well in advance and let him know your expected time of arrival and he will do his best to give you a lift at the earliest opportunity. Having said that, he only has a handheld VHF so is limited by its range. Call him again when you are about ten minutes away. Do not call on Ch16 - he works on Ch10 only.
If you are unable to get a reply at all, call Medway VTS on Ch74 and they will endeavour to contact him by phone.
If you continue to have a problem at the bridge call Medway VTS on Ch74 and report the incident.The Ports and Police can only take action if incidents are reported!
