Burgess Marine and BAE Systems entered into a formal agreement in 2009, governed by a Memorandum of Understanding, which allows Burgess Marine to either act as a primary contractor and / or a preferred supplier; hence allowing the yacht, yacht management company, or owners representative to either contract Burgess Marine, or BAE Systems, for their marine engineering works and / or dry-docking within the Portsmouth naval footprint.

The facility is state of the art, and all external sub-contract parties are free to work on the site. Burgess Marine will be available to support the Superyacht Cup, the J Class regatta, and the Superyacht fleet on, and around, the Thames, in partnership with MGMT, during the summer 2012 Olympic period. The Portsmouth facility is ideal for both planned Class certified dockings or emergency repairs.
