Location:Greater Govan & Glasgow Harbour, Glasgow Harbour
Description:
A new slipway is to be built near the new Riverside Museum to help regenerate the area by increasing the number of boats using the Clyde. The new facility will be free for the public to use.
The slipway is to be located to the east of the Riverside Museum at the mouth of the River Kelvin where it meets the Clyde. It will be a major boost for small crafts using the river in the city centre.
The slipway will also be used by rescue vessels and will help the Clyde Maritime Trust which will have a workshop beside the new museum.
A feasibility study is to be launched into providing a pedestrian ferry service between the Riverside Museum on the north bank and Govan on the south.
Current status:
Under construction
Timescale: Planned completion by 2011, before the Riverside Museum is scheduled to open.
Cost: £2m
