FREEPORT EAST
As you’d expect from a region with 150 miles
of coastline, Norfolk and Suffolk has a number
of working ports, including the UK’s busiest
container port at Felixstowe. The ports of King’s
Lynn and Ipswich tend to be used for trade
in agricultural and industrial goods, including
grain, fertiliser, and aggregates. The ports of
Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, along with
the smaller Port of Wells, are major centres
for servicing the offshore gas and wind energy
sectors in the SNS.
Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft now have the
largest concentration of offshore wind projects
in the world within 100 miles of them. As a
result, they offer the fastest steaming times
to 70% of the installed and planned offshore
capacity in the SNS. This has made them
an ideal base for many energy businesses
engaged in the construction, 0&M of turbines
and associated sub-sea structures.

process. Beacon Park, located in Gorleston, is
already established as a business hub for the
WIND
energy sector.
FREEPORT EAST
Port of Felixstowe, in partnership with
Harwich in Essex, recently won the UK wide
bid to be one of eight new Freeports. Freeport
East aims to create a green-energy innovation
cluster that will draw on the region’s strengths
in offshore wind and nuclear to create a
Hydrogen Hub that will help decarbonise road,
rail and maritime freight transport. It will work
with partners across the region, including
businesses, universities and the technology
research campus at Adastral Park, just
outside Ipswich.

MAINTENANCE
Our region already leads the UK for offshore wind
O&M facilities; with more to follow to support the
10GW+ of proposed developments in the SNS.
