Scotline Ltd supports the regeneration of Medway City Estate but urges planners to protect nationally significant maritime infrastructure. Our terminals on the west side handle 650,000m³ of timber annually—12% of UK imports. The site’s deep-water access, open storage, and proximity to the M25 enable low-emission distribution nationwide. These assets are rare and irreplaceable. We encourage the Council to fully investigate the long-term value of river traffic and ensure regeneration integrates this critical infrastructure.
