A £4m public investment for the Tyne Dock Enterprise Park aims to boost its position as a major offshore wind hub.
The North East Local Enterprise Partnership has made the investment into the Port of Tyne’s Dock Enterprise Park from the Getting Building Fund, topping up the £2.1m which has already been invested by the Port of Tyne into the site. The grant funding has delivered improvement to the site’s quayside, including quay strengthening, allowing multiple offshore wind vessels to berth alongside Tyne Dock Enterprise Park.
It has also funded the creation of a new access road, linking Tyne Dock Enterprise Park to the Port of Tyne, and modern services to site. The 7.1-hectare site, which has 550 metres of direct riverside frontage, is home to the newly-opened Port of Tyne Operations and Maintenance base for Equinor, a hub for operations for the world’s largest offshore wind farm at Dogger Bank.
