Italian energy and cable systems company the Prysmian Group and AV Dawson, owner and operator of the Port of Middlesbrough in the UK, have entered into a long-term agreement for use of additional space at the port.
Prysmian first started operating out of the Port of Middlesbrough ten years ago. With further growth anticipated, the company has secured additional warehousing and office space at the port as part of the new 10-year partnership deal.
AV Dawson said this will support further expansion, accommodating new teams and new jobs in the region.
Prysmian is also investing in new vessels to support this growth. These vessels will regularly visit the Port of Middlesbrough, collecting offshore wind cables and equipment to mobilise for offshore wind projects worldwide.
To support Prysmian's growth, AV Dawson has invested into its port and quayside facilities so it can accommodate these new vessels.
"Having a base in Northeast England is imperative to the success of the many projects we are delivering right now and the ones we can see coming down the pipeline," said Peter Watson, who is responsible for the overall management of Prysmian's marine base. "Port of Middlesbrough is strategically positioned, has well-connected transport links and offers state-of-the-art facilities, making it an ideal place to expand our current operations."
