PD Ports is planning to develop a large offshore wind manufacturing and installation hubs – the Teesport Offshore Gateway.
Located on the River Tees, the 180 acre (72.8 ha )Teesport Offshore Gateway will include an up to 1 km long deepwater riverside quay, permitting unrestricted access to the North Sea and suitable for both floating and fixed bottom offshore wind development. While the plans are at an early stage and subject to variation, PD Ports expects the development to cost in the region of GBP200million (USD267.9 million).
The port hopes that by announcing the initiative at an early stage it can gather insight from the offshore sector that will aid the design of more detailed plans to meet future industry requirements. PD Ports is looking to engage with the offshore renewables sector, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), developers, the UK government and industry experts to shape the plans.
