As the operator of Marchwood Port, Solent Gateway Limited (SGL) is committed to working with community partners. We have been pleased to support the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire Service (HIWFRS) over the last two years by providing space for them at no cost to undertake training at Marchwood Port.
We wanted to let you know that the next exercise will be taking place on 17 April 2023 at 19:00 to 2130 hrs.
This exercise will be taking place at the railway buildings adjacent to Cracknore Hard and therefore may be visible to the public from Cracknore Hard, and possibly Normandy Way.
There will be a staged scene and during this time there will be an increased number of emergency vehicles coming to the port. The drill may also result in an increase in noise for a short period of time and HIWFRS may be using training smoke during the exercise. This is not expected to leave the Port Perimeter. Joint exercise training signs will be displayed along Normandy way during the exercise to advise passing traffic and members of the public.
SGL is keen to take an active role in the community and would like to thank you in advance for your co-operation and understanding. If you have any queries about the planned exercise, please do not hesitate to contact us by emailing [email protected] and we will very happy to help.
