From the Port

Please find our Christmas and New Year opening times here –

The Port of Blyth has been selected by Stokesley (North Yorkshire) based Van Oord Offshore Wind UK Limited as the location for the storage and mobilisation of inter-array cable for the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm.

Following a multi-million pound investment programme, the Port of Blyth has announced the opening of its Bates Clean Energy Terminal, offering enhanced facilities and the opportunity for low-carbon focused investment and innovation. The Secretary of State for Transport, Anne-Marie Trevelyan carried out the official duties at an event attended by a wide range of Port stakeholders. This major redevelopment scheme, supported by funding from the North East Local Enterprise Partnership and North of Tyne Combined Authority, strengthens the Port’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading offshore energy support bases. It has created an enlarged 17-hectare terminal with two berths, upgraded heavy lift quays and up to 5 hectares of fully remediated, prime quayside development land.

Port of Blyth, based in Northumberland, has added a new electric crane to its fleet of equipment to increase its capacity capabilities and reduce emissions. The Konecranes Gottwald ESP.6 Mobile Harbour Crane has a 125-tonne lift capacity, eliminates carbon emissions, and keeps noise to a minimum.

A new £11million facility in Blyth which will create opportunities for thousands of young people and adults interested in working in the clean energy sector has been granted planning permission. The Energy Central Learning Hub will provide a range of state-of-the-art industrial training, education and STEM-related skills facilities, with construction set to start in October 2022 at Port of Blyth and due to be completed in winter 2023. The new 2,396sqm Hub will include major conferencing capabilities, events space, and a lecture theatre to encourage collaboration between employers, education institutions and research facilities.

The Port of Blyth has welcomed the jack-up installation vessel, the Blue Tern into the port for the first time.
