Prysmian first started using Port of Middlesbrough for its operations ten years ago. Since then, the port has become central to the company\u2019s operations and now acts as its northern European marine base.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis new agreement is hugely positive news, not only for Teesside but for the whole of Northeast England\u2019s offshore wind sector. It really puts Port of Middlesbrough and the wider region on the map,\u201d said Charlie Nettle, AV Dawson\u2019s group managing director.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe region has become a hot spot for offshore wind, and it will only get busier as businesses, and the world, continues on the journey to net-zero.\u201d<\/p>\n
Renewables hub<\/strong><\/p>\n With further growth anticipated, Prysmian has secured additional warehousing and office space at the port as part of the new partnership deal. This will support further expansion, accommodating new teams and new jobs in the region.<\/p>\n Prysmian is also investing in new vessels to support this growth trajectory. These vessels will be regular callers at Port of Middlesbrough, collecting offshore wind cable and equipment, to mobilise for offshore wind projects all over the world.<\/p>\n To support Prysmian\u2019s growth ambitions, AV Dawson has put significant investment into its port and quayside facilities so it can accommodate these new vessels.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were really excited to prepare for the arrival of the Leonardo Da Vinci (LDV), the largest cable-laying vessel of its type, in the world, so we needed to ensure we had the capacity on our berths to accommodate her. This involved dredging wider berth pockets as the LDV is five metres wider than any of our other customers\u2019 vessels,\u201d Mr Nettle said.<\/p>\n \u201dPrysmian and some of our other customers are now enquiring about shore power to support their net-zero ambitions, so that is the next significant investment to plan for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AV Dawson, owner and operator of Port of Middlesbrough, has signed a long-term partnership with Italian offshore cable manufacturer, Prysmian,\u00a0cementing a long-term partnership for future growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,22],"tags":[1615,345,1613,1614,174,35],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-av-dawson","tag-offshore-wind","tag-port-of-middlesbrough","tag-prysmian","tag-renewables","tag-uk"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4332"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4334,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4332\/revisions\/4334"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4332"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
