KEY FACTS

The dedicated quay will service the offshore windfarm, offering a 125 acre hard standing for manufacturing, storage and mobilisation. With immediate access to the River Tees and the North Sea, the 1km quay will provide global firms with 500 acres of development land, as well as unlocking the wider Teesworks site.
