Great Yarmouth port set for major expansion

The Port of Great Yarmouth in the UK is set to undergo a major expansion, with plans announced to develop a new deep-water terminal.

Operator Peel Ports is progressing plans to develop the Southern Terminal at its Outer Harbour amid a surge in demand from developers and construction contractors working on major onshore and offshore infrastructure projects.

The planned development will consist of an additional 350 metres of quay, a RoRo (Roll on/Roll off) ramp, a heavy lift pad, and approximately 10 hectares of strengthened outdoor storage space.

Great Yarmouth is home to one of the deepest non-tidally restricted facilities on the UK’s east coast. Its existing terminals service a variety of construction customers, including offshore wind projects based in the southern North Sea.

Port director Richard Goffin said: “The Port of Great Yarmouth has been supporting major offshore and inland and offshore energy projects for over six decades, and we are seeing that demand continue to grow, with real momentum now building behind some major projects.

“Our team’s expertise is second to none, and the port is ideally located to support the construction of vital infrastructure projects and is less restricted than its east coast competitors who are impacted by items such as locks, shallow approach channels and road transport bottlenecks.

“This development will help us meet our objective of playing an increasingly central role in the future of UK infrastructure, and have a positive impact on our regional and national economies.”
