GHT 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 of a pilotage service and the provision and maintenance of navigational aids.
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.
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.
Owners and skippers of small craft wishing to travel to or from the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal via Sharpness Dock and the Severn Estuary MUST, as part of their passage planning procedure, make sure that they are fully aware of any restrictions or local operational requirements PRIOR to setting off. In order to assist in this process we are pleased to provide links to the relevant section of Waterscape and to recently-issued local Notices to Mariners relating to the estuary, canal and dock.
