Sutton builds on its historic foundations
Article Abstract:
Sutton Harbour is the port operator for Plymouth, England, and was set up in 1847 by the British parliament to develop shipping quays and run a fish market. The company has undergone a revival in the 1990s including a flotation on the Alternative Investment Market. The company could develop its leisure, marina and tourist facilities, but this could make it less attractive to investors because reinvestment relief would be lost if rental income goes above a fifth of turnover.

Mersey: a contender on the waterfront
Article Abstract:
Mersey Docks and Harbour acquired Medway Ports in Oct 1993 for 103.7 million pounds sterling. The deal was criticised because Medway could have been acquired much more cheaply earlier, but Medway has helped boost Mersey's profits. UK ports are benefiting from an increase in trade and Mersey would have seen an 18% rise in profit for 1st half 1995 were it no for a loss on a ferry operation. The ferry loss should drop as frequencies of sailing increase in 2nd half 1995.
