Yesterday the entire team including BMT, Heddle Marine, Mammoet, Rylett Engineering, Elgin Military Museum and reps from Bayham council met to review progress, iron out issues and inspect the site. Those who hadn't seen the layout were very impressed with the physical site and all agreed we had a chosen an outstanding location for this project.
Close inspection by Mammoet and Rylett resulted in a consensus that there are no major obstacles to overcome in the barge to shore transfer, other than the lack of apparent progress on dredging the harbour.
Bayham council may be having some hope that another landing alternative might be less expensive. No such luck there, as a study of the concept pointed out the alternative suggested would be at least as costly and infinitely more risky.
So over to you Bayham Council. We await your speedy decision
