Further expansion for offshore wind development is being planned at Port of Grimsby East.
The old fish docks were the first to benefit from the arrival of the now-burgeoning industry, with the initial scoping and then construction support served from the middle of the last decade for the initial farms to appear off the Lincolnshire coast.
Siemens and Centrica invested alongside Grimsby Fish Dock Enterprises to start a transformation of the first port on the Humber, from early pontoons to sparkling operational bases for Lynn and Inner Dowsing and then Lincs. Dong and E.on (now Orsted and RWE) followed in their early wake, and the supply chain and service sector followed too, with the emergence of scores of crew transfer vessels justifying the investment case for lock gate overhauls, a new slipway and regenerated shipyard.
