Seafood straight from the boat and a speciality rum bar, it’s the perfect mix for a restaurant housed in Plymouth’s 19th century Navy victualing yard
“I’m a glutton for punishment!”. Fisherman Ben Squire says he was crazy to take on something new, but when the opportunity to open a fish restaurant and rum bar in the heart of Plymouth’s Royal William Yard came up, he didn’t take too much persuasion.
The restaurant uses fish from the Squire family boats, including The Sidney Rose.

MDL Marinas, one of the largest marina groups in the UK, is hosting a brand new show this year. The Green Tech Boat Show is dedicated to green technologies in the boating industry and it aims to showcase some of the best green boats currently on the market. One of them is the e-Voyager. 1 photo
Built by Voyager Boatyard, in collaboration with Plymouth Boat Trips, the University of Plymouth and several other partners, the e-Voyager is a pioneering concept turned into reality. With green technology becoming one of the biggest trends in boat manufacturing, most companies are looking at building ships that can contribute to reducing harmful emissions. From commercial, heavy-duty ships to passenger vessels, boats are heading toward a green future.

Electric boats of all shapes and sizes are beginning to make a splash in the maritime sector. Andrew Wade reports.
It’s estimated that maritime greenhouse gas emissions account for around 2.5 per cent of the global total, marginally ahead of the two per cent that aviation contributes. If shipping were a country, it would be the sixth largest emitter of CO2 after China, the USA, India, Russia and Japan. International shipping – much like long-haul flight – will not be electrified any time soon, as the energy density of batteries simply cannot facilitate it. And for an industry that’s recently committed to halve its emissions by 2050, that’s a fairly significant problem.
