Port of Blyth will be exhibiting at the Offshore Energy 2019 conference in Amsterdam on 8th-9th October.
Ideally situated mid-way between Aberdeen and Great Yarmouth and with a long track record in the offshore energy sector, Port of Blyth will be keen to share with delegates at the event why it is now regarded as one of the UK’s leading offshore energy support bases.
The combination of the port’s sector experience with a mature on-site supply chain and significant land development opportunities make it a highly attractive proposition for expanding companies in the offshore energy sector.
The Port has four main ISPS compliant deep water terminals with over 1.5km of working quayside to accommodate multiple offshore vessels up to a maximum of 220m in length with no air draft restrictions. Deep water berths to 9.5m LAT are complimented by permanent heavy lift crane capacity up to 600 tonnes and strengthened quayside able to handle large complex lifts, in addition to extensive modern warehousing and workshops with large open storage areas.
Engineering Supply Chain
Beyond marine infrastructure and port services, Blyth has a well-established engineering supply chain with extensive expertise. Major customers from the offshore energy industry such as DeepOcean, Osbit, Royal IHC and Global Marine Group are able to take advantage of a ‘one stop shop’ approach to project support with fabrication, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and welding capability available 365 days a year.
The port’s growth – not just in terms of its reputation as a major UK offshore energy support base – but also in attracting infrastructure investment and business relocation, offers the sector an unrivalled opportunity to succeed in partnership with a modern trust port with ambitions to make a notable contribution in the UK’s success both domestically and internationally.
Energy Central
As well as the port’s expertise, Energy Central combines the world leading test facilities of ORE Catapult, the business support services of Advance Northumberland and the collection of energy related supply chain businesses with one of the most significant quayside developments sites in the UK, to offer inward investors a really compelling opportunity in the North East of England.
The £26m programme of remediation and reclamation to prepare the first phase of the Northumberland Energy Park is taking place as a result of Local Government funding in order to provide the right conditions for economic growth.
A collection of very large, scalable port-side development sites, Energy Central offers expansive land development opportunities combined with deep water, lock-free and near 365 day a year access to open sea with Enterprise Zone status supporting investment across these sites, either through revenue incentives to support business growth or capital investment support for projects to reduce client’s investment risk.
