Energy products
We have what is possibly the largest concentration of offshore wind projects in the world within 100 miles of our port. Which means we couldn’t be better placed to support marshalling, construction and installation operations for these projects. We help with the ongoing operations and maintenance of wind farm developments in the North Sea with our experienced labour, facilities and infrastructure.
Our offshore team, which includes specialist consulting engineers, works closely with offshore project owners, promoters and their supply chain to maximise the efficiency of operations from the facilities at the port.
We also offer facilities for clean energy technology and projects as part of our focus on the Energy industry. We have Local Development Order (LDO) permitted development rights and we are a core part of the Energy Enterprise Zone (EZ). This means clean energy developments don’t need further planning permission which means less risk for you.
Forest products
Every year Peel Ports Group handles and stores around 1.3 million tonnes of forest bulk products. These travel onto a wide range of industries and manufacturers around the UK.
You want to improve the efficiency and value of your supply chain, and our stevedoring, reprocessing and dispatch services can be tailored to do exactly that. You can move packaging paper, publishing paper, woodpulp, timber and panel products quickly and efficiently through our port.
