While some businesses on Medway City Estate may relocate easily, maritime operators like Scotline face relocation costs that are prohibitive for private investment. Our operations depend on deep-water access and open storage—features that are rare and extremely expensive to replicate. In locations without natural depth, ongoing dredging costs make operations financially unsustainable. We employ over 100 people locally and play a vital role in national supply chains. Regeneration should support—not displace—strategic infrastructure and long-term operators.
