At <strong>the</strong> LRA c<strong>on</strong>ference “”Putting <strong>the</strong> <strong>Thames</strong> in L<strong>on</strong>d<strong>on</strong>” <strong>on</strong> 31st October 2006, Capt<br />
Neil Caborn who is General Manager, Lighterage for Cory told Mike Adams that Cory<br />
Envir<strong>on</strong>mental intends to rebuild <strong>the</strong> existing boatyards so that it can maintain <strong>the</strong><br />
Cory fleet <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> tugs that are now too large to fit into <strong>the</strong> existing facility. However, Capt.<br />
Caborn has declined to provide fur<strong>the</strong>r informati<strong>on</strong> to this study <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> grounds that<br />
<strong>the</strong> plans have not been finalised.<br />
The PLA has said that should <strong>the</strong> plans be implemented it is likely that Cory would<br />
no l<strong>on</strong>ger undertake work for third party operators. Cory has not c<strong>on</strong>firmed this.<br />
The redevelopment plans are associated with <strong>the</strong> planning permissi<strong>on</strong> that Cory has<br />
obtained for a waste to energy plant at Belvedere. Cory need improved maintenance<br />
facilities for its fleet <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> tugs and barges. There is a possibility that cory may seek to<br />
build a waste transfer stati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> part <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> existing barge works site to transfer<br />
waste from raod to barge for <strong>on</strong>ward transport to Belvedere.<br />
