The development of the giant SeAH Wind factory on the Teesworks industrial site has reached a milestone with the arrival of the first vessel to supply raw materials for production trials to the factory.
The Jalonborg, an 89m-long supply ship, arrived with a 2,578-ton cargo of steel plates for the factory.
“We are thrilled to enter the next phase with the arrival of 2,500 tons of raw material, which we witnessed being unloaded from the vessel here at Steel River Quay,” said Peter Ivey, SeAH Wind chief operations officer.
“This marks the first significant material delivery, enabling pre-production trials to commence and reducing risk ahead of commercial launch in 2025.”
“This marks another important milestone in the development of the Teesworks site and is the perfect example of the importance of the Steel River Quay and its facilities to companies setting up their operations here,” said Martin Corney, Teesworks CEO.
“We are delighted to see this first shipment arrive for the SeAH Wind factory and look forward to seeing many more come in to dock over the coming months and years.”
