Mammoet, a renowned Dutch specialist in heavy lifting, has secured a five-year contract to serve as the sole provider of heavy-lift and transport services at Steel River Quay, located within the expansive Teesworks industrial zone in Teesside. This strategic agreement is anticipated to enhance the quay’s operational efficiency and support its burgeoning role in the offshore wind energy market.
Spanning over 2,600 acres, the Teesworks site is a former steelworks that has been designated as a freeport, aimed at fostering industrial regeneration in the region. This initiative is particularly significant given the site’s focus on facilitating offshore wind projects, a critical area for sustainable energy development.
Under the terms of the contract, Mammoet’s responsibilities include providing specialised field personnel, along with an array of equipment such as mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) trailers. This ensures that the necessary resources are in place to meet the demands of the site’s evolving infrastructure needs.
Chris Musgrave, chairman of Teesworks, highlighted the benefits of this partnership, stating, “Mammoet is the world leader in heavy lift and transport solutions. This agreement will grant us access to its global network, experience, and equipment, and the support and involvement of its management and safety teams.” Such collaboration is expected to significantly benefit the local businesses and the site’s future as a premier offshore wind marshalling hub.
The partnership with Mammoet is set to play a crucial role in advancing Teesworks’ transformation into a leading offshore wind facility.
