Maryport Developments LTD is in a multi-phase redevelopment project of the Marina with funding coming from a grant provided by the European Regional Development Fund. They have aspirations to add more slips to the existing 171, as well as to develop the existing ship store, marina office, facilities and dry storage area.

Harbor Manager Pauline Gorley went looking for a cost-effective solution to their existing electrical system. “Our employees were having to physically take meter readings almost every day. And we wanted something that would let our residents have some control of.” Through the Mainstar keypad and display system residents can turn their power on and off with a unique pin number. This gives them security and peace of mind that they are being billed for only the electricity they consume.

Philip Lee, a liveaboard resident of Maryport Marina loves the new system. “When I go away from the marina I now know that the visitor in my berth won’t be running my electric up.”
