A NEW port on Teesside to build the next generation of offshore wind projects will be constructed as part of a £20 million investment to boost the UK’s world-leading industry and create 3,000 new jobs in the North, the government announced today (Wednesday). Teesworks Offshore Manufacturing Centre, on the River Tees, will receive up to £20 million and will begin construction later this year to update the port with new infrastructure – helping to revitalise the historic industrial heartland. The port will have the capacity to house up to three manufacturers to support the development of the next-generation of offshore wind projects, substantially boosting the UK’s offshore wind manufacturing base.
