PD Ports has struck a long term deal with offshore engineering firm Seajacks to make Teesport the permanent UK base for its vessels.
The agreement will mean Seajacks - which operates three "jack up" vessels design specifically for harsh North Sea conditions - will use Cargo Fleet Wharf at Teesport Commerce Park to berth three of the vessels that typically support wind turbine installation.
The first of these vessels, the Kraken, successfully moored at Teesport Commerce Park recently in a move PD Ports said strengthened Teesside's position in the global offshore wind industry.
