The East Coast has the space, the experience, the skills and the desire to embrace all the needs of the new windpower world.

East anglias ports Skills and support to make things happen offer maximum benefit East Anglias ports East easily via the A11, for new era of offshore As well as the expansive coastline, and skills in marine and the Southtimes areLondonaccessible Street by rail also benefit from the infrastructure while journey to Liverpool science and advanced engineering developed from are just under two hours. The Midlands and the North wind farm development more than 40 years experience in the North Sea oil and can also be reached via links from the A14, one of the
gas industry. Billions of pounds will be channelled into the offshore wind industry over the coming decade with ports at the heart of operations. Investors will be looking for maximum support and benefit and East Anglias ports are second to none for their quality, availability, expertise and strategic relevance to the latest offshore developments. The cluster, which includes Harwich, EastPort UK, Lowestoft, Felixstowe and Ipswich, can offer a complete range of facilities with available quay space and ample opportunities for growth and development. And they can all draw on the experience of a regional supply chain which has served the energy industry for almost half a century but has rapidly adapted to the changing needs and demands of today and the future. The ports have already been actively involved in development, construction and operations and maintenance of offshore wind farms. Now they are ready and equipped to support developers and Tier 1 and 2 companies, and lead us into a new generation of wind energy. More than 400 specialist companies are located in the area, with skills ranging from cabling and drilling, hydrographic surveying and geosciences to electronics and asset management. This skilled workforce will be key to helping wind farm developers make the most of the natural assets around the East Anglian coast. The region is also well connected by road, rail, sea and air to all areas of the UK and mainland Europe. London

countrys main East-West routes. Norwich International Airport, which has a helipad and offers worldwide connections via Schiphol in Amsterdam, is within easy reach, as are London Stansted and Luton airports. And Bond Air Services has installed a new hanger and helipad at Lowestoft. Furthermore, the regions councils and development agencies, its schools and colleges, universities and research institutes, are on hand to provide ready support.

EastPort UK, Great Yarmouth

With a new deep-water outer harbour and modern river port, EastPort UK offers wind farm developers and tier 1 & 2 companies a host of manufacturing opportunities. There is significant quay space, ample land for construction, modern facilities and unfettered access to the sea. Furthermore, the newly completed site has permitted development rights and is available now. With more than 40 years of experience supporting the North Sea gas business and a regional energy supply chain of more than 400 companies, EastPort UK is an ideal manufacturing and construction base. Privately owned and operated, its new owners have a flexible approach and see offshore wind as a natural fit for the future. It is Englands principal support port for offshore energy in the Southern North Sea and the closest deep-water harbour to the East Anglia Array wind farm project and the continent. As the base for the Scroby Sands wind farm development, the port has proven experience in safely handling wind farm components, and remains the operations and maintenance base for the site. And since becoming operational in February 2010, the newly constructed deep-water outer harbour has hosted vessels working on Greater Gabbard, Thanet and Sheringham Shoal offshore wind farms. Quay length - 1,400m (harbour), 3,000m (river) Depth - 10-11m (harbour), 5.7m (river) Beam - up to 75m (harbour), 30m (river) Vessel capacity - 220m max length (harbour), 110m (river) There is trunk road access to London and the Midlands/North, a nearby railway terminus and Norwich International Airport is 45 minutes drive.

Bathside Bay, Harwich

A major investment opportunity has been recognised at Harwich Bathside Bay. Building on its formidable experience in the offshore renewable sector, Harwich International Port is bringing forward a major new port development at Bathside Bay. Detailed planning applications are being sought to amend existing consents for the development, with habitat mitigation measures and harbour orders already agreed. No other UK port has consent to expand on this scale and the ability to be operational by 2014/15. The redevelopment of Bathside Bay offers a multifunctional manufacturing and assembly site which could be capable of supporting multiple large-scale facilities, as well as providing a prime installation base. It is ideally located to serve the UKs Round 3 projects, as well as future developments off the German, Dutch and Belgian coasts and the port is already heavily engaged on the development of Round 1 & 2 wind farms. The development will increase the ports depth for access to 15m below LAT (lowest astronomical tide) and provide 1,400m of extra quay for heavy loadings. It has no air draft restrictions and is one of the UKs best naturally protected harbours. The port boasts regular ferry services to the continent, rail connection from the port to London and east and west coast mainlines. Stansted Airport is less than an hour by road. Space - 1,130,000 m2 Quay length - 1,400m Depth below LAT - 15m Vessel capacity - Unrestricted
