GREAT YARMOUTH'S POSITION ON THE RISE IN RENEWABLES

摘要

Two self-propelled jack-up vessels, purpose-built for installing wind turbines, have made Great Yarmouth's EastPort UK their home port.Gorleston based 'Seajacks', owned by Riverstone Holdings, an energy and power focused private equity firm which manages the world's largest renewable and energy fund, believes that the outer harbour at Great Yarmouth's Port is perfectly placed to facilitate the most recent wind farm developments in round 3. The company is planning to build a new office/warehouse complex close to the Port's recently completed pound 80million multi-purpose outer harbour to support its operations, currently focused on Walney offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea and Greater Gabbard off the Suffolk coast, recognised as one of the world's largest wind farms.
