Gloucester Harbour Trustees is the competent harbour authority for the Gloucester Harbour under the 1987 Pilotage Act. Its main responsibility is to ensure the safety of navigation within the Harbour through the provision and maintenance of navigational aids and the provision of a pilotage service.

However, the role of a modern harbour authority encompasses much more and information about GHT's many and varied activities, past and present, can be accessed through the buttons above. In particular, leisure sailors interested in making the passage between Sharpness and Bristol will find much useful information within the "Safety Guidance" section. This includes information relating to British Waterways and access to the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal.

We welcome queries and comments from all those interested in the Gloucester Harbour and the activities of GHT. In particular, we actively encourage leisure users to contact this office if they have any queries relating to navigation in the harbour area or beyond.
