But Hull must also face the British planning system once again. The riverside berth plans &#8211; first announced as Quay 2000, later renamed Quay 2005 and finally given the go ahead at the end of 2005 &#8211; will now have to be revisited, as the wind port plans will require a Harbour Revision Order amendment.<\/p>\n<p>ABP hopes to start building in the first half of 2012 and expects to invest about \u00a3100m in the infrastructure development. Siemens is thought to be looking at about \u00a380m; the whole project is likely to create 800-900 jobs. ABP and Siemens will be looking to take advantage of any funding opportunities there are, says Mr Jukes.<\/p>\n<p>He believes that where Siemens has led, others will follow, including manufacturers further down the supply chain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hulls proposed site for Siemens wind turbine factory ticks all the boxes in terms of location, deepwater, lock-free access and space, says Matt Jukes, ABPs port director for Hull and Goole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3357,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terminal-operations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3356"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3356\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3358,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3356\/revisions\/3358"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3356"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
