Ramsgate rides the wind train
The UK Port of Ramsgate has benefited from the investment generated by wind farms, with Thanet developer, Vattenfall, paying for recent dredging works.
The developer of Thanet has signed a long-term lease with the owners of Ramsgate for its operations and maintenance base to be situated at Ramsgate.
The developers will take over use of an existing warehouse at the Port and build a new office facility to accommodate the team of engineers and technicians that will operate the wind farm.
This commitment runs for 40 years and will provide regular income for the Port and other employment opportunities in the area.
Other areas of the Port will also be used to support the offshore construction elements of the project.
