“Vessel operators using Port of Blyth should be happy in the knowledge that it is a well-equipped port that can resolve any challenges they have through the local skills base and supply chain.”

“Recently, the Texo team was awarded a contract to fabricate the world’s most powerful tidal turbine. We’re not the only Port of Blyth-based company that has been selected to work on this project. We’ve been impressed by the strength of the companies Energy Central attracts - and their collaborative outlook.”

“As well as proximity to markets, we needed a quayside facility, a deep water berth and the potential for land ownership, plus ready access to other equipment suppliers and to ORE Catapult, who we’d been working with on testing for many years. Northumberland could offer us everything. Plus, we were impressed with the property and the clustering where we knew we could take advantage of synergies in the supply chain.”
