Location:
Greater Govan & Glasgow Harbour, Govan
Description:
The Water Row pontoon provides an ideal facility for the developing river bus and river taxi services and also provides spaces for visiting boats to book.
In addition the pontoon is being used by the new Govan Ferry which is now operating a passenger service between Govan and Kelvin Harbour landing stage, providing an important link with the Riverside Museum. Located east of Water Row, Govan the pontoon is fixed to guide rails on the quay wall opposite Napier Terrace.
The 30m pontoon is completely secure, with an electronic gate and electricity and water services available.
The pontoon is part of a series of pontoons being created along the river, encouraging a mix of leisure craft to make use of the upper Clyde.
