PORT OF TYNE The gateway to opportunity
Connected to world-wide markets, the Port of Tyne is a major deep-sea port with the perfect resources, location and infrastructure plans in place to confirm its position as a key player in servicing the needs of the offshore industry.
LOCATION The Port of Tyne’s geographical location, only 96 nautical miles from Dogger Bank, ensures it is ideally placed to become a major centre for the manufacture and maintenance of offshore wind turbines and to service and support the attendant supply chain.
ENTERPRISE ZONE STATUS The Port has two sites on the north bank of the River Tyne earmarked for potential development including 30 hectares with Enterprise Zone status. Businesses locating to the Port can benefit from a supportive planning approach and therefore establish themselves as ‘market ready’ quickly and efficiently.
FACILITIES The Port of Tyne offers a deep-water, lock free, safe haven that is operational 365 days a year. An experienced, skilled workforce is on hand with a range of equipment at the Port’s disposal; including 6 cranes each with 100-tonne lift capacity, ensuring crew changes and maintenance procedures can be completed efficiently and on time.
SUPPLY CHAIN EXPERIENCE North East England as a whole has a strong supply chain with extensive experience of supporting the marine and offshore sectors. The region’s tradition of heavy and marine engineering, shipbuilding and offshore oil and gas extraction has resulted in a strong skills base, with many companies in the region having either an existing commitment to the offshore industry or the clear potential to diversify into it.
