The brief

Falmouth Harbour (FH) was created by an Act of Parliament over 150 years ago.

The Falmouth Harbour Order 1870 created the body corporate of Falmouth Harbour Commissioners to run and manage the Harbour.

For 150 years Falmouth Harbour has been operating as a Trust Port.

Our purpose is to shape and maintain the Harbour for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Any surplus we make is reinvested into the Harbour to benefit everyone, creating jobs and opportunities.

Falmouth Harbour continues to be a vibrant, valuable Harbour for the UK, with a thriving marine cluster, but also becoming a focus for blue growth around new marine and environmental technologies as a key part of Cornwall's low-carbon future.

Falmouth Harbour has grasped the opportunity for a new industrial marine revolution; infrastructure investment has delivered better jobs and careers for the local community in new industries and future technologies such as autonomous vessels, energy devices, data, future fuels, future shipping, superyachts, recreation and sustainable tourism.

Falmouth Harbour is the UK's Atlantic gateway with access to one of the best global sailing and watersports environments.

Our vision for Falmouth Harbour in 2030: • Falmouth Harbour is the UK's Atlantic gateway. • A vibrant, pristine harbour with a thriving marine cluster. • World-leading National Water Sports facilities accessing one of the best global sailing and water sports environments. • Supporting a thriving coastal community where opportunity exists for all to have skilled, well-paid jobs.

Falmouth is the UK's first and last major harbour, conveniently located at the entrance to the Western Approaches.

Together with the Carrick Roads, Falmouth Harbour is the third deepest natural harbour in the world and the deepest in Western Europe.

Falmouth offers services to vessels of all sizes, all taking place within an unrivalled natural environment.

To deliver our vision, we must invest in a Feasibility Study which identifies opportunities for developing Falmouth as a year-round destination for marine economic activity focussed on cruise, leisure, watersports tourism (over, on and under the water), education regarding the environment and marine conservation.

The Study will greatly solidify the exact value-add in terms of socio-economic value.

It is anticipated that some of the activities proposed will enable us to develop a skills development programme which could range from outreach and volunteering opportunities to apprenticeships and bespoke sector specific development opportunities, including further collaborations with Further Education and Higher Education providers.

The Plan will look at the suitability of FHC's assets for developing Falmouth as a 'destination'.

Further details on specification and how to apply are in the attached ITT.
