A Private Harbour Territory—For Those Who Navigate with Authority.
Lockwood Harbour Territory, established in 1853 and governed by the Lockwood Family Trust, offers a rare invitation to operate within a privately owned maritime estate.
Protected under the Harbours Act 1955 and upheld by the principle of fee simple inheritance, the estate is open to select parties seeking lawful refuge for vessel mooring, commerce, engineering, and maritime investment.

Exclusive Partnerships

LHT stands at the threshold of a bold and deliberate expansion—one that strengthens both our infrastructure and our governance.
Private Member's Maritime Club
