Proposal Summary

• Our vision is to create Yorkshire’s Centre of excellence for the Offshore Renewables Industry, forming an expert cluster of organisations and businesses working in this industry.

• We will engage local businesses and marine related organisations and our aim is to create job opportunities in support of this new industry, this will directly benefit the ports of Whitby and Scarborough and the wider community in Yorkshire

• Dalby Offshore Services will lease a section of Endeavour Wharf to develop an Operations and Maintenance Centre which will act as the turnkey development for inward investment

• The new business opportunity is focused around a new purpose built building located at Endeavour Wharf

A New Industry

Based on the UK Government’s projections for the deployment of offshore wind, the O&M of more than 5,500 offshore turbines could be worth almost £2bn per annum by 2025 – an industry similar in size to the UK passenger

aircraft service business today.

Operations and Maintenance (O&M) in the Renewables Industry

• Dalby Offshore’s Fleet operate in support of the expanding renewables industry, ferrying supplies and passengers, fuel, water and stores on a range of Wind Farms around the UK and abroad.

Dalby Offshore Services is an established owner and operator of these purpose built Wind Farm Support Vessels.

The Ports of Whitby and Scarborough

• The next key developments in the renewable industry come in range of Whitby and Scarborough... The opportunity arrives now

Whitby

• A diverse, multi-user port with strong leisure craft and charter / tourism usage plus local shellfish and white-fish, some layover berthing. Unlikely to return to bulk cargo work.

• The O&M opportunity is, as far as we can see, the best opportunity to use Endeavour wharf as a maritime related economic generator

• Whitby has the opportunity now and the infrastructure to develop a successful O&M centre, to diversify port activity and to create the next generation of maritime opportunity.

Whitby - Port Capacity

• Has unrestricted open sea access – no locks

• Can accept medium sized craft of larger capacity than other O&M ports such as Grimsby East

• Fast turnround in the Lower Harbour

• Limited by a lack of deep water berths in the upper harbour and swells in Northerly winds

• Limited pontoon availability for ‘walk to work’

Scarborough

• Good secondary / optional port within striking distance of Hornsea windfarm

• Limited berthing space but quays available

• Dalby offshore has an office at Scarborough – Based at the historic building the Old Toll House and is investing in pontoons

Economic impact • It is anticipated that jobs will grow in parallel with the phased

growth of build in the central North Sea. The development should create 350 direct jobs by 2018

• In addition a further 350 indirect jobs are projected to be created in support industries such as engineering and in hotel and catering

• These jobs are likely to be spread across the borough and wider North Yorkshire

• Our aim is to work with the local community to create opportunities for local people.

• First phase inward investment to the borough in the O&M infrastructure and support is estimated at £8M to £10M

Port Operations Controls remain with the Harbour Master under his statutory duties

Balance of use in the port – this will be a new use to be accommodated and we will work with the local marine community to make this work for all
