ACTIVITIES - PROJECT CARGO

As well as everyday handling operations, EastPort UK has developed specialist skills in handling specific projects and is perfectly placed to extend that business into the future.

Specialist skills include:

• Wind farms
• Pipelines
• Offshore modules

EastPort UK continues to be heavily involved in the rapidly developing world of wind farm construction both off the North Sea coast and at shore locations around East Anglia and beyond.

It has built up handling skills from its key role in the development of the Scroby Sands wind farm off the coast at Great Yarmouth and this led to its involvement in projects such as Norfolk’s North Pickenham wind farm.

EastPort UK’s pipeline experience is founded on its pivotal role in the Elgin Franklin project in the late 1990’s which led to new business including the Kings Lynn - Bacton pipeline link.

It also has considerable experience in shipping out modules to offshore installations, one of the flagship operations being a module for Norwich based, Aquaterra energy bound for Angola.

The new deep-water outer harbour compliments existing facilities by offering direct deep water access (10m) supported by a modern port infrastructure capable of raising the standards of efficiency demanded by complex projects.
