OFFSHORE WIND INDUSTRY It’s widely known that Siemens has chosen the Port of Hull to develop a new offshore wind turbine assembly and export terminal. This £310 million development will include a facility for the assembly of wind turbines, component storage areas and offices, as well as a new 600m riverside berth which will handle the fully assembled wind turbines.
The Siemens facility alone will create over 1,000 jobs and more will be generated by supply-chain industries.
