Marine

The availability of waterfront sites and the large testing tanks and specialist facilities at Qinetiq Haslar’s Marine Technology Park, make Gosport an ideal location for any firm interested in the development, testing, maintenance or repair of autonomous, marine leisure or defence-related craft. 

Undercover facilities and a 180 tonne boat hoist with no tidal restraints ensure swift and easy access to and from the Solent.  These particular advantages have seen Gosport become the place of choice for the repair and maintenance of Volvo Open 60 racing yachts and the headquarters of Sir Robin Knox-Johnston’s world-renowned Clipper Ventures. 

Support is available for both existing companies and those looking to relocate to the area.  Whether you need finance, expertise in export and specialist sector advice, or networking events and marine apprentice programmes; all are readily accessible to help your business become one of the UK’s maritime success stories.
