Co-ordinated by Sunderland City Council City Services Department in conjunction with the port authority, other demolition work has involved knocking down a one- time carpenters’ shop, once part of the extensive tW Greenwell and Sons ship- repair complex.
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD Matthew Hunt, Director at port of Sunderland, believes the demolition scheme is another step forward in turning occupied space into a positive asset.
He said: “Once part of Sunderland’s coal-exporting and marine engineering heritage, these old buildings served their purpose over the years, but were becoming dilapidated and beginning to raise safety concerns.
“Demolition has helped to open up additional land capacity, perfect for port-related development, which in turn, will help steer further opportunities for business through the port.”
MAXIMISING ASSETS He added: “Having seen a significant increase in the volume of traffic at the port, with more and more business being done here, it is vital that we maximise every asset we have.
“The demolition work and indeed a raft of other developments at the port over the last few months, are all helping us to become even more attractive to customers.”
SELECTING PORT OF SUNDERLAND Mr Hunt added: “There are a growing number of businesses including some major players operating in the offshore sector that are choosing Port of Sunderland as their base. It is therefore important for us to ensure that we are able to accommodate their needs as well as enabling port staff to operate as effectively as possible.

“The changes we are making will not only enhance our offer to businesses already based here, but will also make Port of Sunderland an even more attractive location for potential customers seeking a base.”
