Timescale: May 2004 – July 2004
Budget: £70,000
Partners: Glasgow City Council, Moat House Hotel
Lead: Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre
Target: Completion of a pontoon to provide river access to Scotland’s premier conference/event area
Status:

Completed

Activity: The inaugural River Festival in 2004 gave impetus to the partners to replace a previous pontoon, with one that would attract visiting vessels to the conference campus and city.

The pontoon was designed to complement the roads and pedestrian access to the hotel and SECC while at the same time meet the requirements of existing river users.

It has also helped to attract visiting vessels such as clippers, and restaurant boats; cruisers and other vessels associated with events/shows at the conference area.
