<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> has taken over the former oil terminal at Falmouth Docks, in Cornwall, England with plans to repurpose the site for maritime use following the halt of oil storage operations, according to a report by Paul Armstrong of English newspaper Falmouth Packet. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/378842/image/large-63620590d061647af6296e6df585486f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/378842">For the past 18 months, the terminal has been inactive, having neither stored oil nor supplied fuel during that period, according to Armstrong’s report. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> said the acquisition is intended to support Falmouth’s marine industry, while keeping the facility under local ownership.Speaking to Falmouth Packet, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> Group Operations Director Charlie Ross said the previous operator, Falmouth Petroleum Services, had ceased trading "with no prospect of recovery", leaving only a small number of jobs connected to the site.&nbsp;He added that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> had consulted with the remaining employees: some were retained within the business, others were redeployed elsewhere in the group, and some roles ended by mutual agreement as the previous operation wound down.Falmouth Oil Services Limited, which was linked to the operation had ceased trading and was officially dissolved on 13 December 2022, Falmouth Packet reported.However, a former employee disputed Pendennis' account, alleging that nine employees were informed on 24 July that the business had been sold before being told three days later that their employment had ended, the newspaper reported. The former employee also claimed that after oil services were moved offshore during the pandemic, the site's tanks had been used to store waste oil while operations continued at a reduced level.Ross told Falmouth Packet that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> believes it is important for the facility to remain under the stewardship of a local maritime business rather than continue as an oil terminal. While no detailed redevelopment plans have yet been announced, the shipyard said it intends to invest in the site with the goal to support the wider port and local economy for the long haul.
