Chairman’s Statement

Dunbar Harbour Trust is committed to ensuring that Dunbar Harbour is operated safely and efficiently, so as to safeguard its users, visitors and the environment, both now and in the future. The Trust is committed, within its powers, to fulfilling all of its duties and responsibilities, so that Dunbar Harbour is accessible and enjoyable for all.

The Trust remains primarily committed to the continuing development of sustainable in-shore fishing, and the further expansion of the Dunbar Fishing Fleet. Dunbar Harbour Trust will continue to work in close co-operation with the RNLI, both locally and at national level, to ensure the return of Dunbar’s All-Weather Lifeboat, John Neville Taylor, to an along-side mooring within Dunbar Harbour, permitting 24/7, all-weather and all- tide search and rescue operation. The Trust is further committed to the repair, maintenance, conservation and preservation of the Cromwell and Victoria harbours, and the advancement of public education concerning their history. The Trust will also provide, or assist in the provision of, facilities in the interests of social welfare, the arts, education generally, recreation and leisure time pursuits.

In addition, the Trust will promote trade and industry and business development, for the benefit of the harbour, its users and the local community.
