We’re excited to share what our marina department has been up too over the past couple of months.
In this edition, we’re sailing from south to the midlands, diving deep into the projects and developments that have been making waves. Launching from Chelsea Harbour and sailing right up to Sawley Marina, we have plenty of news to update you with. Keep reading to find out more.
Chelsea Harbour
Chelsea Harbour, an urban oasis in West London on the River Thames, is not only one of the most famous and luxurious maritime sites, but also one of the most attractive and desirable locations in the city. With them feeling the need for a refurbishment, Rolec stepped in to help.
Working in partnership with our long-standing partner, Power Portal, Rolec installed bespoke Quantum service pedestals. They were fully equipped with LED lighting and the BerthMaster smart service management and operating system.
We were privileged to be part of this incredible project at Chelsea Harbour and to showcase Rolec's innovative solutions at such a prestigious location. Delivering a reliable solution for what the client required for their refurb. The full video is uploaded on YouTube, watch it here.
Roydon Marina Village
Across to Roydon Marina Village, a luxury holiday oasis, offering moorings, lodges, and residential park homes as well as a hotel and boathouse café. Their 315-berth marina offers moorings of up 70 feet in length, enabling them to accommodate most narrowboats.
Currently, they are undergoing a two-phase expansion, with phase one completed in March 2024. Rolec made significant moves in the first phase of Roydon’s marina extension by supplying Quantum service pedestals, SmartCard metering system and a substantial addition of EV charging infrastructure for the marina’s staff and guest parking facilities. The full video is uploaded on YouTube, watch it here.

Brinklow Marina
Sailing north to Brinklow Waterside & Marina, on the Northern Arm of the Oxford Canal in Warwickshire. In addition to this marina, there are 28 other marinas in this network that are located all over the country, from those nestled within the English countryside and those located in the heart of cities.
In these ever-changing tides of waterway travel, a new wave of electric and hybrid narrowboats has emerged! To support this new wave, our dedicated marina team proudly delivered Brinklow’s first ever electric boat charging point, and just in time for the inaugural ELECTRIKA Boat Show where some 19 electric narrowboats made full use.
This new Quantum charger features 2 sockets and is personalised with Brinklow’s branding. It also includes LED amenity lighting and is enclosed by mirrors, seamlessly blending into its environmental surroundings.
Sawley Marina
Finally, Sawley Marina, a tranquil setting, on a navigational cut of the River Trent near Long Eaton in Nottinghamshire, the largest inland marina in the UK. With a water space that covers 23 acres, lapping up against the green and natural borders of the rural landscape, Sawley is peaceful yet well-connected.
We are proud to partner with them on this project, which includes upgrading all the pedestals to include LED amenity lighting and integrating new electric boat charging facilities. Rolec’s expert engineers will oversee all aspects of the installation. Stay tuned for the full case study!
