New trial & training centre for autonomous marine systems at Turnchapel Wharf

Thales, a global technology leader for the Aerospace, Transport, Defence and Security industries, has opened a new £1million facility at Yacht Havens' Turnchapel Wharf in Plymouth. The company plan to develop future autonomous and unmanned technology across air and sea, with investment in two new UK-based trials and training centres.

Following Thales’s successful trials during the Royal Navy’s Unmanned Warrior exercise in 2016, the group is now investing in two trials and training centres based in West Wales and in Plymouth, South-West England, to test and develop autonomous systems for both military and civil activities.

The new facility in Turnchapel Wharf, Plymouth, will be Thales’s maritime autonomy trials and training centre. The five year commitment by Thales secures 20 jobs and the aspiration to continue to grow their footprint. This waterfront facility will provide access to trial areas for development of cutting edge maritime autonomous systems and position Thales at the centre of future maritime autonomy capability. The facility will act as the key maritime integration, test and evaluation centre for the combined United Kingdom and French Maritime Mine Counter Measures (MMCM) Programme.

"Whether in the air or the sea, the UK is leading the way when it comes to autonomous systems. Thales’ announcement today is yet another example of that, and another way in which this innovation is supporting jobs right across the country.”   - Harriett Baldwin, Minister for  Defence Procurement.

A 14 acre waterfront Business Park in Plymouth, Devon, Turnchapel Wharf is home to a range of local, national and international marine businesses. Previously a Ministry of Defence site, Turnchapel Wharf has undergone a major transformation into a modern, thriving space providing waterfront offices, workshops and warehouses for a wide range of marine companies.

Plymouth Yacht Haven

Plymouth yacht haven is a 450-berth, naturally protected marina in this historic sailing city.

Visitors to the city shouldn’t miss the charm of the old Barbican area, with the Mayflower steps nearby, from where the Pilgrims started their journey to the New World; the Hoe and Smeaton’s Tower with their views across Plymouth Sound; and the Grade-I Royal William victualling yard, which has been redeveloped with cafes, restaurants and art galleries.

The city hosts maritime races, regattas and events. This year it was the start point for the Transat bakerly and every other year Plymouth Yacht Haven is the finishing port for the Fastnet – a particularly busy time.

The Yacht Havens Group has invested heavily along the Plymouth waterfront and today caters for customers with boats and budgets of all sizes. It has recently developed a new Marine Business Park at Turnchapel Wharf next to Plymouth Yacht Haven, offering a host of opportunities for marine businesses looking to relocate or expand.

Plymouth Yacht Haven is a 450-berth marina that is naturally protected from the southwest by the lie of the land.

The marina gets busy in the summer and booking is advised. It has hosted rallies of Hallberg-Rassys, Drascombe Luggers, and Jeanneau and Legend yachts.

It sponsors the annual 26-mile  Eddystone Charity Sailing Pursuit, which this year raised £78,000 for charity.

There is a whole host of yacht services on site, from upholsterers to electricians, with the workshops and shipwrights housed in Second World War flying boat hangars. “We have got everything on site that you could want for your boat,” says marina manager Steve Kitchen, who adds that he thinks of the marina and berth holders as a community, and therefore tries to anticipate their needs. “When boats come in we take their lines; we are there for them.” The number of staff has doubled in recent years.
