a key Player in tHe uk Port inDustry
Welcome to the 2014 tees and hartlepool handbook. our operations at teesport and the port of hartlepool are part of the Wider pd ports Group, an aWard-WinninG ports and loGistics business based in the north of enGland With operations throuGhout the uk.
PD Ports is a key player in the UK port industry and in the North East
economy. As experts in ports and logistics, we know our customers
operate in challenging markets. Working alongside organisations
ranging from retailers to renewable energy specialists, we provide
quality solutions that help them do better business.
Difficult trading conditions have proven a significant challenge to
our business in recent years. Despite the global economic downturn,
we have continued to make progress across our business with
considerable investment in both operations and people, which
gives plenty of reasons to be optimistic in our outlook.
One of the most poignant changes in Teesside’s industrial landscape
was the return of steel making in April 2012 when SSI restarted
production at its Redcar blast furnace. More than a third of the UK’s
steel exports are now exported from Teesside with over 3 million
tonnes of steel slab handled annually at Teesport.
We have also delivered the largest single infrastructure investment at our
Teesport container handling facilities with some £16.7 million invested to
expand terminal capacity to support growth in market demand.

eMerGinG Markets
Across our facilities at both Hartlepool and Teesport, we are actively
supporting the increasing use of biomass as a sustainable fuel and
the growing market for onshore and offshore wind energy. In 2012
the Port of Hartlepool was the preferred choice for EDF Renewables
Ltd’s Teesside offshore wind farm project. The project, which went
live in 2013, showcased our capabilities as a vital construction
logistics hub for such large-scale wind farm projects.
five DecaDes at tHe Heart of traDe 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of Tees Dock, the main
operational hub at Teesport, with millions of tonnes of container,
ro-ro, steel and bulk cargoes passing over its quays every year. As we
celebrate this time we also herald new beginnings to maintaining
our position as one of the UK’s leading port and logistics businesses.
I hope this handbook offers further insight into our current
operations and future developments at Teesport and Hartlepool as
well as the activities of the many industries and terminals so vital
both to the port and to the wider industrial community on Teesside.

HelPinG your business Grow in tees valley
it Gives me Great pleasure to introduce the
latest edition of the tees valley loGistics
handbook.
There is much going on in the Tees Valley despite the global economic
challenges. Our established and thriving manufacturing, engineering
and logistics sectors continue to see significant successes. And the area
has seen increasing investment in new and emerging industry sectors
such as offshore wind and renewable energy.
Our transport infrastructure has always played an important role
in the Tees Valley economy; and our unique offering of first-class
road, rail, sea and air links means the area is extremely attractive for
business in the logistics sector.
Global MarketIn an increasingly competitive global market, our transport services,
combined with our skilled and affordable workforce and wide range
of sites and premises at extremely competitive prices, have drawn
national and international companies into the area in recent years.
In fact, in the first two years since Tees Valley Unlimited was
established as the Local Enterprise Partnership, we have created and
safeguarded almost 3,000 jobs and secured about £700 million of
investment. This has been achieved through our work to attract new
investment to the area as well as the support we offer companies
already based in Tees Valley to grow their businesses here.
Since its launch in April 2012, the Tees Valley Enterprise Zone has
been successfully attracting companies and creating new jobs and
investment, with companies benefiting from Business Rate Relief
and Enhanced Capital Allowances.
PartnersHiPAs the Local Enterprise Partnership for Tees Valley, we have secured
millions of pounds of funding for transport and infrastructure
projects, including road and rail improvements to ease congestion
and reduce transport costs and times.
Our business investment team is always on hand to help companies
find the right location, access support services and provide
information on the workforce, training and skills available here.

the tees valley, Which includes the ports of
teesport and hartlepool, has alWays been one
of the uk’s main industrial centres. over the
years, iron and steel production, shipbuildinG,
chemical production and offshore activities
have all played their part in the economic
eXpansion of the reGion. the industrial
landscape has chanGed but one component has
remained constant – the river tees.
The Tees has been a natural centre for trade and industry for
centuries with activities on both sides of the river, as well as in
Hartlepool, bringing ship traffi c from across the world to serve its
many terminals and factories.
There have been many changes over the years. The region has had to
adapt to changing economic fortunes and changing industrial needs
and has met each challenge head-on with optimism and dedication.
This positive attitude is still apparent today right across the region
as the ports and other local businesses continue to restructure their
operations in order to provide the best service to customers.
awarD-winninGPD Ports is the statutory port authority on the river, with jurisdiction
over the 11 miles from the Tees estuary to the Tees Barrage. It is a
privately funded, award-winning ports and logistics company with
operations both on Teesside and throughout the UK.
PD Ports operates the major port facilities of the Teesport Estate
(which includes Tees Dock) and Hartlepool. Together, they handle
around 10 percent of the total tonnage handled on the river.
Each year, Teesport and Hartlepool combined handle circa 34 million
tonnes of cargo including around 400,000 TEU of container traffi c.
These fi gures put the Tees facilities among the UK’s top fi ve busiest
ports. Teesport is also the North East’s premier container port.
With some 5,000 vessel calls each year, about 70 percent of all cargo
handled is liquid bulk products destined for the vast chemical and
petrochemical complexes located on both sides of the river. There
are concentrations at Seal Sands, opposite Teesport and at Wilton
International, just south of Teesport.
GrowtHTeesport has achieved growth in container volumes in the past
fi ve years. In 2013 it completed a major investment programme to
expand its capacity to 450,000 TEU as well as implementing state-of-
the-art terminal operating system software to boost effi ciency and
productivity.
Much of the port’s growth, especially in containers, is due largely
to the expansion of its portcentric logistics service off ering, which
involves the storage and distribution of imported goods closer
to the port of arrival and fi nal destination. This concept has been
successfully implemented at Teesport with some of the UK’s
leading retailers.
To complement its growing portcentric business, and to provide
specifi c portcentric-focused logistics services, PD Ports has
rebranded part of its logistics division as PD Portcentric Logistics.
This signifi cant step underlines the company’s commitment to
providing its portcentric customers with the best possible service.
Another growth market is in renewable energy. Teesside’s long-
held expertise in the off shore oil and gas industry is now proving
vital in attracting a cluster of companies working in the wind farm
sector. The Port of Hartlepool was appointed logistics hub for the
Teesside off shore wind farm providing a supply base to support
the construction of the wind farm from which specialist vessels
transported all materials and construction staff . In addition, Teesside
has attracted a cluster of renewable energy plants using biomass or
waste as feedstock, which will be brought in by road, rail and ship.
linksThe growth in cargo services has been matched by the growth in
transport links, both by sea and by rail. Most of the main shipping
lines now call at Teesport with feeders to the main European hubs as
well as the east coast feeder, Logical Link, between Felixstowe and
Teesport, using Unifeeder vessels.
Inland, new rail freight links connect Teesport with Grangemouth in
Scotland while new rail intermodal facilities on Teesside increase the
possibilities for importers.
Teesside benefi ts from some of the best transport links and least
congested roads in the UK. This, together with some of the best
port services in the UK, provides an unbeatable combination for
importers and exporters alike.

one of the drivinG forces behind the vibrant
industrial and commercial GroWth on teesside
is the tees & hartlepool port users’ association
(thpua).
Established in its current form in 1997, but originally founded in 1949,
the association develops and promotes the economic, effi cient and
eff ective movement of goods through the Ports of Teesport and
Hartlepool, not only for its members but also for other port users
and local businesses in the North East of England.
eXPertiseTHPUA has about 40 members representing a wide range of
activities that include cargo handling, off shore work, shiprepair,
private wharves and terminals on the River Tees, together with
support services like ship agency, pilotage, foyboatmen services,
towage and waste management.
The members of THPUA represent companies from various
industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, steel, engineering,
general cargo, bulk storage and logistics. In many cases, these
companies are interdependent, and this broad network of expertise
opens the way to good co-ordination of activities as well as the
smooth and effi cient running of port operations.
best PracticeBy sharing information, learning from members’ experiences,
and working together, Teesport and the members of THPUA
can achieve best practice in all aspects of their operations. The
diversity of skills and capability provided by the association
is complemented by guest speakers who provide an update
of information and methods. This integrated approach to the
management of the river makes Teesport safe and secure for
everyone working in the Teesside area.
coMPlianceThe association keeps members up to date with new legislation
and environmental requirements. By working with PD Ports, new
guidelines, services and training are developed to help keep
Teesport compliant. This has put the port at the forefront of oil
pollution response and security awareness.
Members representing support services work with PD Ports to
expand the services provided and meet increasingly stringent safety
and environmental legislation. The port management plans are
adapted to refl ect these changes and training is promoted to ensure
individuals are competent to handle everything from an oil spill to
port security. Oil spill exercises are held to give operators fi rst-hand
experience of handling this type of incident.
socialTHPUA has a thriving social calendar that includes an annual cricket
match between PD Ports and THPUA, a golf day, quiz nights, group
walks and an annual dinner at which members entertain customers,
suppliers and colleagues. All these events help to raise funds and
ensure the sustainability of the association.
coMMunityThrough fundraising and sponsorship, the association supports the
local community, making donations to charities such as the Daisy
Chain Project, Great North Air Ambulance and Zoe’s Place Baby
Hospice. In addition, individual members support local Seamen’s
Missions, giving their time to transport seamen to and from the
nearest mission, or helping local children to read in support of the
High Tide initiative.
MeMbersHiPThe association is open to companies that operate within the port
areas of the River Tees and Hartlepool. Whether a company owns or
leases a jetty or is engaged directly in the movement of ships or the
provision of services to the port, new members are always welcome.
PartnersHiPsTHPUA has good relations with PD Ports and with those employed
in and around the port. It also works closely with other maritime
organisations such as the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, the
Maritime & Coastguard Agency and the Marine Management
Organisation. A particular aim of the association is to promote the
River Tees and its business community in order to generate and
maintain the fl ow of cargo as well as promoting the advantages of
this part of the North East to a larger audience.

teesport has been one of the top performinG
uk ports for over a decade in terms of carGo
throuGhput. it is also the premier container
terminal in north east enGland and the best
connected feeder port in the uk.
Located less than a mile from the mouth of the River Tees, Teesport
has fi rst-rate shipping and transport links. The port is a deepwater
facility with lock-free access to the North Sea.
Each year, Teesport receives over 5,000 vessels and handles 34
million tonnes of cargo. The 779 acre Teesport estate is an integral
part of the wider industrial area. At the heart of the estate is Tees
Dock, with its container, ro-ro, steel and bulk handling quays.
Cargo handling operations related to agribulks, engineering,
manufacturing, petrochemicals, the retail sector and the steel
industry are all carried out at Teesport. In addition, it supports the
burgeoning renewable energy sector.
Teesport is the location for most of PD Ports’ portcentric
warehousing activities, which benefi t from the close proximity of
the container terminals and easy access to the region’s principal road
and rail connections.
Few areas of the UK are better served by road and rail services.
Teesport has direct access to the A66 Trans-Pennine east-west routes
and to the A19 and A1(M) national motorway links north and south.
This is complemented by direct rail links to the rest of the UK via the
East Coast Main Line and Trans-Pennine routes.
strenGtHThe strength of Teesport lies in its versatility and adaptability. From
multichannel retailers and producers to manufacturers and logistics
providers, few ports can off er such a wide range of service options.
The range of services and facilities includes:
• Two container terminals with an annual capacity of 450,000 TEU.
• Four general cargo berths handling a variety of commodities
including steel, dry cargo and project cargo. All berths have a
depth alongside of 10.9 m LAT.
• Three ro-ro berths: two within Tees Dock and one river berth.
• 25,200 sq m of covered warehousing plus large areas of
open storage.
• Over 3 million sq ft of operational portcentric warehousing.
• Private rail sidings are able to handle a wide range of cargoes.
• Large compounds for open storage of all kinds of vehicles, from
cars and heavy trucks to machinery and plant.
• The wide range of equipment includes fi ve heavy lift Gottwald
HMK cranes of 63 to 100 tonnes capacity, 13 reach stackers,
four gantry cranes, four rubber-tyred gantry cranes and two
quay cranes.
GrowtHAs well as the facilities of PD Ports, there are over 30 independent
jetties and quays alongside the River Tees including major
international manufacturing companies, chemical plants, shipyards,
off shore fabrication yards, liquid bulk storage facilities and logistics
providers.
Much of the growth of PD Ports is due to the expanding activities
of these companies. The reopening of the Redcar steel plant, now
operated by SSI, was a major boost for the port, with around
3 million tonnes of slab steel handled annually through Teesport.
In 2013 Cleveland Potash announced a further 20-year extension
to the lease on its facility in Tees Dock as its mining operation
under the North York Moors is extended for a further 40 years. This
will result in half a million tonnes of ore being shipped through
Teesport each year. Also in 2013, Bunn Fertiliser agreed a fi ve-year
deal to supply its Scottish and northern UK customers with products
imported through Teesport.
The real driver of growth, however, is the portcentric activities of
Teesport with leading supermarkets and retailers such as Asda,
Tesco and Taylors of Harrogate taking advantage of the many
facilities and services off ered by Teesport to ship their products
closer to the end customer.

There have been port operations along the River Tees since
the 12th century, first at Yarm, then at Stockton and then at
Port Darlington, or Middlesbrough as it was later called. As river
crossings were built, shipping activity moved downstream, closer
to the mouth of the river.
When Tees Dock officially opened on 4th October 1963, operations
were starkly different to those we know today. There were just two
cranes and a warehouse at No. 1 Quay, as well as an office block and
maintenance department for the workforce of around 25 people.
Tees Dock grew steadily and by 1965 all five berths on No. 1 Quay
were open and operational. The 1970s was a period of economic
change in the UK, a fact reflected in the mix of cargoes handled
at Tees Dock. The decade saw the arrival of imported cars from
Japan, with Datsun the forerunner of what is now Nissan in
Sunderland.
History
There have been
port operations along The river Tees since The 12tH century
The Redcar Ore Terminal and the ro-ro terminal opened at Tees
Dock in 1973, followed by the Steel Export Terminal in 1976, and it
soon became the hub for all the port’s general cargo activities.
The official opening of No. 2 Quay was undertaken by The Queen
when she visited Tees Dock on the Royal Yacht ‘Britannia’ on 14th
July 1977. The opening of large chemical processing plants on
the north and south banks generated further business for the
port, while Tees Dock took on greater significance in 1980 when
Middlesbrough Dock closed.
In the 1990s the port was privatised along with many other large
UK Ports. A new riverside ro-ro berth was opened to support the
strong ro-ro and car volumes the port was handling. The growth
in container volumes at Tees Dock brought investment into the
facilities at the port. Teesport Container Terminal 1 received a new
crane and Teesport Container Terminal 2 was built with an official
opening by The Duke of York in 2003. The £12 million second
terminal was one of the largest investments in the port’s history.
PD Ports aims to continue growing the port infrastructure to enable
future success for years to come.

The Port of Hartlepool, just three miles north of the River Tees,
consists of Victoria Harbour, a large tidal harbour with open access
to the sea, and the North Basin, a small enclosed dock.
The main quays in Victoria Harbour are the 150 metre Victoria Quay,
the 380 metre Irvine’s Quay and the 380 metre Deep Water Quay.
The North Basin is an enclosed dock with 386 m of quay and a depth
over the sill of 3.11 m.
There is 90,000 sq m of quayside warehousing with dedicated
sheds for bulk cargo, forest products and off shore support and
mobilisation operations.
core activitiesThe core activities in Hartlepool are bulk cargo handling, the oil and
gas sectors and the renewable off shore wind energy market.
The port is well connected with two primary routes, the A179 and A689,
both linked to the A19 dual carriageway and the main arterial route for
the A1 (M) North and South. The port also has direct rail freight links into
the UK network. In addition, both Durham Tees Valley and Newcastle
International airports are located within a short distance.
The strength of Hartlepool lies not only in its engineering and off shore
expertise, but also in the availability of large areas of land for development
and in the port’s easy access to the North Sea. These key factors provide
fi rst-rate opportunities for both existing and new operators.
The port of Hartlepool off ers:
• Five general cargo berths handling goods such as steel, dry
cargo and project cargo.
• Depth alongside of 8.0 m LAT at all berths (a vital factor in
attracting off shore projects).
• Dedicated heavy lift quay area for project and out-of-gauge cargoes.
• Ro-ro berth with Linkspan access within the main port area.
• Dock estate has 963,000 sq ft of covered warehousing and large
areas of open storage.
• Large storage compounds for import and export of cars, light
and heavy vehicles, plant and machinery.
• Private rail sidings capable of handling a wide range of cargoes.
oFFsHore growtHMuch of the area around Victoria Harbour has been redeveloped
in recent years, opening up new land for development, especially
in the burgeoning off shore sector. Hartlepool is already home to
two major off shore companies and is looking to expand its role as
a construction base, especially after it was successfully used as the
onshore base for the construction of the Teesside off shore wind
farm project off Redcar.
Heerema Offshore has been located in Hartlepool for nearly 20
years, supplying large fabricated structures to offshore-related
industries. Heerema uses Irvine’s Quay to load out its massive
modules, constructed within the dock estate, to North Sea
barges.
JDR Cables opened a new facility at Hartlepool in 2009 to
manufacture and supply off shore cabling direct to vessels from its
quayside plant. The success of this enterprise led the company to
almost double the capacity of its facility in 2012.
pipesHartlepool handled over 1 million tonnes of concrete coated pipe
for the Ormen Lange gas fi eld in 2005-2006 and assembled 700
metre long pipes to be spooled for laying in the North Sea for
Saipem Off shore in 2012. The port also receives regular calls for
off shore support vessels working the North Sea oilfi elds.
Other major operations in the town include Tata Steel’s pipe mill and
Huntsman’s paint pigment plant.
eXpertiseIn 2012 the port was appointed as the main construction logistics
hub for the Teesside off shore wind farm. The port’s extensive land
bank and deep water were key components in the success of
this project, providing dedicated assembly areas for the massive
structures with easy access to the North Sea. PD Ports also supplied
the stevedoring services for loading the vessels that would transport
the items to the wind farm site off Redcar.
The turbines’ foundations and the subsea cables were supplied
and installed by Van Oord UK and its decision to operate out of
Hartlepool is seen as a major boost for the area. It is the aim of
PD Ports to position the Port of Hartlepool and the wider region as a
centre of excellence for the European wind energy market.

Teesport now has two container terminals. The original Teesport
Container Terminal (TCT1) is alongside the river with 300 m of quay
and two wide-span gantry cranes.
Teesport Container Terminal 2 (TCT2), opened in 2003, is located
inside Tees Dock with 360 m of quay and two gantry cranes of 50
tonnes capacity.
As part of a £29 million project, £16.7 million has been invested into
the expansion of TCT2 which was completed in 2012. The port now
has an annual combined capacity of 450,000 TEU.
eXpansion The expansion involved a total reconstruction and resurfacing of
more than fi ve hectares of the container terminal area with heavy
duty paving designed to withstand increased loads from container
stacks and four new rubber tyred gantry cranes (RTGs).
The RTGs represent the single biggest equipment investment at
Teesport since the container terminal opened in 2003.
Teesport launched a ‘fast gate’ service in 2012 to reduce waiting
times for containers being moved from ship to warehouse.
The aim has been to improve services for onsite portcentric
customers.
new terminal operating system As part of the investment into the container terminal, PD Ports
installed a new terminal operating system.
Built by Navis, a software development company specialising in
terminal operating systems, this system was introduced to further
improve effi ciency for customers as well as the speed and agility of
operations at the container terminal.
The Navis system signifi es a fundamental change in the way
business is conducted at Teesport. It enables PD Ports to achieve
improved planning and better coordination of container activities at
the port.
As with any new system, the task of identifying and applying the
technology was not without its challenges; but the system has been
operating successfully since January 2013.
Furthermore, the Navis system will benefi t the port’s portcentric
operations by allowing PD Ports to plan further ahead and off er
greater visibility for customers. With the installation of the system,
PD Ports had completed the £16.7 million upgrade of its container
terminal facilities.
In addition to its existing terminals, the company still has the
Northern Gateway Container Terminal (NGCT) in its sights as a
long-term goal. But any movement towards this must wait for the
necessary changes to market conditions to justify such investment.
FeeDer port The expansion of the Teesport’s capacity and the improved
effi ciency the investment has introduced will help support the ports
growing feeder services.
Already Teesport has over 20 vessel calls a week from most of the
world’s largest shipping lines. These vessels connect the port to the
major hub ports of Europe and over 13 strategic markets.
The destinations that Teesport has connections to through feeder
vessels included Felixstowe, Poland, Rotterdam, Spain, St. Petersburg
and Zeebrugge. The volume and reach of these vessels makes
Teesport the best connected feeder port in the UK.

Portcentric logistics is about importing goods through ports located
closer to the fi nal customer, while also locating distribution centres
close to the port. This brings the suppliers closer to the markets they
serve and can reduce annual truck miles across the UK by tens of
millions each year.
By unpacking, storing and picking goods at the port for onward
delivery to stores, those companies using portcentric logistics
bring direct benefi ts to their supply chain at multiple levels.
The environmental footprint of the whole chain is reduced by
eliminating road miles from southern ports to distribution centres
based in the Midlands and the North.
portFolioTeesport’s list of portcentric activities grows each year, both in terms
of the number of distribution facilities and the range of services
available to retailers.
In 2006 supermarket chain Asda opened a distribution centre on
the Teesport estate. Asda’s 350,000 sq ft warehouse was the fi rst of
its kind at the port and highlighted PD Ports’ ability to work with
customers to introduce a portcentric solution.
In 2012 PD Ports won the prestigious Asda Carrier of the Year award
for being the most outstanding supplier in the retailer’s supply chain
based on performance and excellence in service.
Distribution centreA facility for Tesco followed in 2009, with a 1.2 million sq ft warehouse,
one of the largest distribution centres in Europe, able to accommodate
130,000 pallets at a time. In fact, Teesport was the only port that could
meet Tesco’s requirements for a distribution centre of this size.
Since then, Taylors of Harrogate opened a 40,000 sq ft facility at
Teesport Commerce Park to handle its tea and coff ee imports. This
operation will be moved to Billingham to enable expansion to up to
115,000 sq ft.
In 2012 Clipper Logistics opened an 840,000 sq ft warehouse at
Wynyard Park, 15 miles from Teesport, consolidating the Asda
George imports into one facility. The super centre will handle more
than 3 million items of clothing per week for Asda George clothing
range. The three-level building has been designed to allow for
further growth to 1.2 million sq ft.
In addition, the furniture retailer Barker and Stonehouse returned
to Teesport in 2013, with a local supply chain business managing
the handling and distribution of its international furniture
products, which arrive weekly on Teesside, for its northern UK
stores.
customer FocusTeesside’s portcentric activities now cover some 3 million sq ft of
warehousing at Teesport and nearby locations.
The many advantages of locating a portcentric distribution centre at
or close to Teesport include:
• Direct container shipping links with Africa, the Baltic, Europe, the
Far East, Mediterranean and the Middle East.
• Regular feeder links to European hub ports
• No return-to-port container handling
• Secure customs-approved warehousing
• Customer-specifi c facilities available
• Established and effi cient hinterland transport infrastructure
• Plenty of land for development
• Wide choice of supporting transport and logistics companies
• Skilled local labour
successSuch has been the runaway success of the portcentric initiative that
PD Ports has rebranded part of its PD Logistics service as
PD Portcentric Logistics.
Together with effi cient container handling operations, PD Ports
provides a seamless logistical link between supplier and customer,
as well as a logical one.

Importers and exporters have come to rely on this expertise in
logistics, which is one of the area’s fastest growing sectors. Tees
Valley has excellent transport links which transport companies are
taking advantage of to supply fast, effi cient and reliable logistics
services.
One of the main factors in this growth is Teesport’s favourable
location within easy reach of high-density conurbations such
as Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester and with regular rail
connections to the North West and Scotland.
In addition, the portcentric activities at Teesport have led to an
intensifi cation of transport and logistics activities.

The Ensus bioethanol plant, opened in 2010 on the Wilton estate,
uses locally grown animal feed wheat to produce bioethanol, high
protein animal food and carbon dioxide. Following the plant’s
opening, more projects have been announced and construction
work has already begun on some of these.
In 2012 the multimodal transport and marine company A V Dawson
signed a 40-year deal for a waste-to-energy plant on its riverside
site at Dawson’s Wharf. The plant, built by Greenlight AD Power,
partnered with Wilton-based Earthly Energy Group, was located
on Dawson’s site next to the River Tees because it is strategically
placed to serve the waste-to-energy requirements of a blue chip
client base. The anaerobic digestion (AD) plant will turn organic
waste such as farm slurry, food waste and garden cuttings into clean
electricity for the National Grid. Dawson’s extensive multimodal
facilities are a key factor, allowing feedstocks to be brought by rail,
road and sea.
Air Products is building and operating the world’s largest renewable
energy plant on Teesside using advanced gasification energy-from-
waste technology. The plant will use up to 350,000 tonnes of non-
recyclable waste each year, diverting it from landfill, to be converted
into renewable electricity. Work began in 2012 and the facility is
expected to be fully operational in 2014.
At Seal Sands, INEOS Bio plans to develop Europe’s first waste-to-
bioethanol plant. The 30 million litre plant will convert 100,000
tonnes of biodegradable waste into zero carbon road transport fuel
and renewable electricity each year.
waste to energyAnother energy from-waste facility was announced in April 2013.
This plant, to be developed by Sembcorp on its Wilton site, will
take up to 430,000 tonnes of municipal waste and convert it into
fuel. The waste is being supplied under a 30-year contract with the
Merseyside and Halton Waste Partnership.
Looking further ahead, there are plans for Teesside to handle sizeable
volumes of imported biomass, such as wood pellets, through
Teesport. It is expected that further investment and development of
the port’s infrastructure would be needed as this develops.

As a result of the boom in off shore exploration in the 1970s, the
Tees Valley is home to a wide range of companies with a lot of
experience in the sector. On both sides of the Tees and at Hartlepool
there are single-user facilities and multi-user sites, together with a
large number of support companies. Tees Valley also has the world’s
largest cluster of subsea cabling and trenching companies.
Today this expertise is also being used to drive expansion in
the off shore wind power sector, with several facilities taking a
sideways step into engineering and support for wind farms. The
Government has also designated Tees Valley as one of six Centres for
Off shore Renewable Engineering, which will focus eff orts to attract
renewable energy manufacturing companies.
renewable energyThe Government’s commitment to reducing carbon dioxide
emissions and deriving more of the nation’s energy supply from
renewables has led to heavy investment in the sector, especially in
the Tees Valley. Existing and new companies are already winning a
large slice of this business.
Companies with expertise in off shore projects are already
established at Hartlepool. With large areas of land available for
development, Hartlepool has the potential to be a major player
in the off shore market. Already, as the construction base for the
Teesside off shore wind farm, just off the coast of Redcar near the
mouth of the River, Tees, it has already proved it can successfully
handle large projects.
teessiDe’s energy FutureIn terms of wind energy, the outlook is very encouraging for
Teesside. While the main project in this sector has been the
construction of Teesside off shore wind farm, there are many other
developments that are under way or on the drawing board. For
example, Teesside is located within 90 miles of the ongoing wind
farm developments at Dogger Bank, Hornsea and Forth.
The Government’s aim is for 50 percent of wind farms in UK waters
to be built by UK companies. Currently that objective is a long way
off , but one company making great strides in this direction is TAG
Energy Solutions.
tagTAG has occupied the former Swan Hunter Teesside shipyard on the
north bank of the river since 2007. After an early foray into off shore
drilling rigs, the company decided to focus on the wind energy
market.
The potential market for off shore wind turbines is substantial. About
3,000 installations are scheduled in UK waters in the near future, with
a similar number planned in German waters. In particular, work is
expected to start in 2014 on the Centrica Race Bank project and the
Kentish fl ats extension.
TAG invested some £20 million in state-of-the-art manufacturing
facilities for rolling and welding large-diameter tubes for the
construction of monopiles and transition pieces for wind turbines. It
is also investing in a new facility for the construction of jackets and
wind turbine substation topsides. The former shipyard slipways are
being converted to handle jacket production. TAG has also invested
in a new on-site painting and blasting facility.
The facility has an annual capacity of up to 125 monopiles and
transition pieces, although its current throughput is closer to
60. Most structures are 7.5 m in diameter and up to 100 m long,
although structures up to 10.5 m in diameter would be possible with
only minor modifi cations to the plant.
Once completed, the monopiles, which can weigh up to 650 tonnes,
are moved by low-loaders to waiting barges and transported to
the wind farm area. A major project for TAG has been supplying the
Humber Gateway project with 16 monopiles and transition pieces
during 2013.
31
The market for these enormous structures is expected to grow
until the 2030s. As the first facility of its kind in the UK in terms of
location, capability and size, TAG is uniquely positioned to attract
this business.
As well as hoping to gain contracts from existing Round 2 projects,
TAG is set to take advantage of the huge potential offered by Round
3 projects. TAG is also the only UK company to have met German
quality standards, so it hopes to gain a slice of that market as well.
JDr cable systems
JDR Cable Systems is another major operation that has been
successful at the Port of Hartlepool. The company is a leading
provider of subsea power cables, umbilical systems and marine
cables for the energy sector.
JDR manufactures subsea power cables in a 330,000 sq ft facility
at the Port of Hartlepool that recently completed a £30 million
expansion to meet growing market demand.
It is the only site in the UK specifically designed to manufacture
subsea cables for the offshore oil and gas and offshore
renewables market. In 2013 it will deliver 200 km of cables for
one of the world’s largest offshore wind farm installations, the
London Array project.
Located alongside a deepwater quay, the facilities include
carousels to supply cables weighing up to 2,200 tonnes. Cables
can be spooled directly from the factory to offshore cable-laying
vessels.
nortH sea supply baseA V Dawson’s North Sea Supply Base is a well-known landmark
on the south shore of the river in Middlesbrough. The 45 metre
high fabrication halls, the largest on the Tees, provide some
15,000 sq m of shed space, 5,000 sq m of warehousing and office
accommodation for up to 500 people. The fabrication halls have
nine overhead cranes supported by quay cranes of up to 215 tonnes
capacity alongside a 750 metre quay.
The North Sea Supply Base can be used for all kinds of onshore
and offshore engineering projects including fabrication and
decommissioning of offshore structures; and has facilities for
haulage, heavy lift, rail traffic, warehousing and wharfage. The
base is also home to companies involved in the subsea and project
forwarding sector, scaffolding and access systems, blasting and
marine coatings.
Companies based here include the subsea energy company Modus
Seabed Intervention and the subsea cable-laying company Prysmian
PowerLink Services. A V Dawson is also offering support to offshore
wind energy companies.
otHer sitesHartlepool is home to several world-class offshore facilities. As
well as JDR Cables, the offshore fabrication company Heerema has
extensive facilities there. Heerema, which is involved mainly in the
oil and gas sectors, has 28,000 sq m of fabrication facilities at Victoria
Dock and a further 48,000 sq m at Greenland Road. The company is
experienced in large offshore heavy structural steel projects.
Tees Dock has the only deepwater facilities on the River Tees, able to
accommodate the largest offshore support vessels. Further upriver,
Teesport Commerce Park, a 48 hectare multi-user site, is home to a
range of companies including LV Shipping, a multimodal specialist
offering marine and offshore project services. The Heavy Lift Quay,
operated by Deep Ocean, has a 180 tonne capacity Manitowoc
crane, the largest on the river.

EDF Energy Renewables began construction of the Teesside offshore
wind farm in February 2012. Located 1.5 km offshore between the
mouth of the River Tees and Redcar, the wind farm has 27 turbines
with a total generating capacity of 60 MW – enough green energy
to power up to 40,000 households.
The turbines were installed in the first half of 2013. Now fully
operational, they will offset more than 80,000 tonnes of carbon
dioxide annually and will help the UK to achieve its target of
providing 30 percent of its electricity from renewable sources
by 2020.
The Redcar site offered the best opportunity for siting a wind farm
off the north-east coast. Underground cables take the electricity
to a new substation at Warrenby. The electricity is then fed into the
regional and national grids via a connection at the Northern Electric
Distribution Ltd substation at Lackenby. The Warrenby substation
site also houses the wind farm control room.
The turbines were supplied by Siemens, while the Netherlands-
based company Van Oord was responsible for the foundations and
subsea cabling.
HartlepoolThe project was largely managed from the offshore base facilities in
Hartlepool and the wind farm will be maintained using crew vessels
based in and operating out of Hartlepool. The availability of ample
land and deep water in Hartlepool were vital to the success of the
project, providing dedicated assembly areas for the turbines and
structures with direct access to the North Sea.
PD Ports also provided stevedoring support for the task of loading
the components into vessels to be taken out to site. The vessel
used for the installation of the topsides for these turbines was the
specialist wind farm installation vessel the MPI Adventure, operated
by Teesside based MPI Offshore.
Hartlepool already has a cluster of offshore-related companies and
the intention of PD Ports is for Hartlepool to be a hub for the wind
farm sector as more projects are expected in the near future.

NEw LifE for TEESSidE’S STEEL iNduSTry
Steel production haS been part of daily life on
teeSSide for over 160 yearS. following a period
of uncertainty and realignment, the thailand-
baSed company Sahaviriya Steel induStrieS (SSi)
haS become the new owner of the redcar iron
and Steel making facility. the blaSt furnace waS
relit in april 2012 and the firSt SlabS rolled off
the production line three dayS later.
For PD Ports, steel exports are a major part of its throughput, with
over 3 million tonnes handled each year. Production at SSI UK has
recovered to previous levels at the plant and is expected to increase.
This has led to PD Ports looking to expand its facilities to cope with
the increased demand.
TraNSLoadiNgSlabs are brought to Tees Dock by rail for transloading onto the
quayside before loading onto vessels using two 100 tonne capacity
Gottwald cranes. These cranes are equipped with chains and lifting
beams so they can load two slabs at once.
PD Ports has six sets of heavy duty magnets mounted on 42/45
tonne capacity fork-lift trucks, which are used to lift slabs weighing
up to 33 tonnes directly from rail wagon to open storage without
manual intervention.
PD PORTS HANDLES OvER 3 miLLioN ToNNES

In addition, some 8 to 9 million tonnes of raw materials are imported
for the steel plant via the Redcar Bulk Terminal.
iNvESTmENTSSI has not only reignited Teesside’s steel industry but has also
rejuvenated it through investments of about US$1 billion. The
intention in the longer term is to produce in excess of 4 million
tonnes per year. If this is target is reached, then PD Ports will have to
match investment at Tees Dock with deeper quays and additional
equipment. Its current handling capacity is about 4 million tonnes
per year.
The majority of high-grade steel slabs produced at this plant are
being shipped to SSI’s downstream rolling operations in Thailand;
but the company also exports to other customers.
SSI UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sahaviriya Steel Industries
PLC, the largest steel sheet producer in South East Asia. The blast
furnace at Redcar is the second-largest in Europe.
The former owner of the site, Tata Steel, also has a major presence
on Teesside. Tata Steel operates a tube mill in Hartlepool and rolling
mills at Redcar and Skinningrove with exports of 200,000 tonnes of
steel through the port, mainly to the Great Lakes region in the USA
for engineering construction.

process sector. They include refining, petrochemicals, speciality
and fine chemicals, plastics, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
There has also been a more recent transition into renewable energy
production.
While there has been some consolidation and realignment of the
sector in recent years, it remains in a strong position. Investments
announced in 2012 and 2013 point to a bright outlook for the
industry in the immediate future.
The largest concentration of processing activity is at Wilton
International – formerly ICI and operated since 2003 by Sembcorp
– with other clusters at Billingham and Seal Sands on the north side
of the river, where most of the petrochemical plants and storage
facilities are located. About 70 percent of the cargo handled at
Teesport is related to the process industry, either in raw materials or
finished products.
Wilton International provides investors with many key benefits
including established on-site infrastructure and utilities, easy access
to materials and services, location near a major seaport and logistics
services, skilled local labour and downstream product sharing.
Many of the world’s leading chemical and manufacturing
companies have operations in the area including Huntsman
Polyurethanes, Ensus, Lotte Chemical, Yara Industrial, Johnson
Matthey, Conoco Phillips, Harvest Energy and Lucite International.
Most are located at Wilton along with more than 80 engineering
and support companies.
Wilton has been the location for much of the recent investment,
receiving a total of more than £2.5 billion in recent years. And there
is much more on the way from new and existing companies, both at
Wilton and at other sites.
iNvESTmENTSThe renewable energy industry is expanding in the region, with
Ensus now operating Europe’s largest biorefinery, producing
bioethanol, at Wilton.
The chemical giant Lotte is building its third plant at Wilton, a new
PET polymer plant, which will be operational by early 2014.
One of the largest potential investments is to come from Sirius
Minerals’ flagship York Potash Project. An estimated £1.7 billion could
be invested in the UK’s first new potash mine for over 40 years.
Located 45 miles south of Teesport, if built the mine will be connected
by buried pipeline to a processing plant at Wilton. From there, the
refined polyhalite fertiliser will be conveyed to warehouses at Teesport
before being distributed in bulk by sea, road and rail to UK customers.
LaNdfaLLWilton may also become the landfall for the Dogger Bank
offshore wind farm for its onshore converter stations. The Dogger
Bank Teesside A and B developments, located 165 and 195 km
respectively, off Redcar, are expected to generate up to 17 terawatt-
hours of green electricity per year.
At Billingham, Air Products is building the world’s largest renewable
energy plant using advanced gasification energy-from-waste (EfW)
technology. Located next to the North Tees Chemical Complex, the
facility will provide renewable electricity for up to 50,000 homes and
will divert up to 350,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste per year
from landfill. Longer term, this plant has the potential to generate
hydrogen for commercial use – for example to fuel public transport.
The facility is scheduled to be complete in 2014.
joiNT vENTurEIn 2013 Teesside also won a major contract to build a £200 million
power plant at Wilton in a joint venture between Sembcorp, SITA
UK and the ITOCHU Corporation. Wilton 11 will receive more than
430,000 tonnes of household waste from Merseyside in a £1.2
billion, 30-year deal to generate electricity for homes as well as the
potential to provide steam for businesses on the Wilton site.
These developments, totalling billions of pounds and ranking among
the largest in the UK, paint a picture of optimism for the future.
ExpErTiSEThe North East Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC) continues to
promote the region’s far-reaching expertise and diversity in this
sector. Established in the mid 1990s, the organisation has over 430
members and 120 associate members and provides a strong voice
at regional, national and European Union government level. It also
nurtures the relationship between the process industry and the
supply chain sector, vital for the success of the industry.

ENviroNmENT
PD Ports continues to develop and maintain sustainable codes
of practice to minimise an adverse impact on its surrounding
environments.
To achieve this, the company has put in place a team of
Environmental Champions at each of its operating locations. These
teams ensure that PD Ports continues to adhere to environmental
legislation and to strive to keep improving its environmental
performance.
PD Ports introduced its own environmental management system
in 2012. Since then the business has achieved International
Environmental Standard ISO 14001, one of the fi rst UK ports
businesses to achieve this exacting qualifi cation.
commuNiTyPD Ports is one of the driving forces behind the High Tide
Foundation. This new charity was set up by port-related businesses
along the River Tees to raise the aspirations of young people on
Teesside by off ering better training and employment opportunities.
Working with the High Tide Foundation, the wider industrial
community and local education and training providers, PD Ports
runs eff ective programmes giving people practical skills and
experience in port-related sectors.
The first result of these programmes was the creation in
2013 of 13 full-time permanent positions for apprentices in
operational roles at Teesport. This represents a 100 percent
success rate following the introduction of the bespoke 18-month
apprenticeship scheme in 2011.
PD Ports is an active member of Business in the Community (BiTC).
Since joining in 2011, it has become fi rmly established in a network
of multinational household names, small local businesses and public
sector organisations that all stand for responsible business.
In 2012 David Robinson, chief executive of PD Ports, was appointed
Regional Ambassador to HRH The Prince of Wales for his leadership
in bringing businesses together to help improve the skills and
aspirations of young people on Teesside.
In 2013 HRH The Prince of Wales visited the headquarters of
PD Ports and met with young people and their mentors from the
43
High Tide Foundation, as well as companies that are engaging with
the charity’s activities.
In 2013 PD Ports employee Eddie Miller was appointed BiTC Business
Connector for the North East to help vital community services tackle
local issues. The 12-month role focuses on taking business resource,
skills and time into the heart of communities where vital services are
under pressure to do more with less.
SupporTPD Ports also actively supports the personal interests and pursuits
of employees through a staff support scheme launched in 2007. This
programme has provided support for charitable ventures including
building communities in Peru, developing the skills of sports
leaders in South Africa, providing equipment for sports teams, and
supporting amateur dramatics students’ training.

roadThere are few delays or hold-ups on the fast-moving roads around
Teesport. Hauliers and cargo owners using Teesport have ready
access to the national road network via the A66 dual carriageway,
located just outside the port gates. This provides fast and
congestion-free access to the A19, A1(M), M1, M6 and M5 trunk roads.
airTeesside’s Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA) has scheduled and
charter flights throughout Europe. Scheduled passenger services
are operated by Eastern Airways (Aberdeen), and KLM (Amsterdam).
DTVA is ideal, too, for time-sensitive freight handling and is used
regularly for urgent traffic. Located just 15 minutes from three major
trunk roads, DTVA has excellent links to the immediate region. The
airport has a 2,291 metre runway that can receive almost any aircraft
in operation, including An-124s and Boeing 747s.
raiL
Tees Valley has more rail-linked sites than any comparable area in the
North of England. This is a key advantage as freight owners look to
rail transport to provide regular and reliable connections. The East
Coast main line connects Darlington with Aberdeen, Edinburgh,
Newcastle, York, Doncaster and London. Middlesbrough is linked
with Manchester and Leeds via the trans-Pennine route.
A series of rail-linked industrial sites, many operated by specialist
companies, offer intermodal and support services:
• Teesport’s cargo handling and warehouse facilities are served by
intermodal rail services with direct access to Teesport’s ferry and
container terminals.
• Tees Yard rail hub has ample land for logistics partners to carry
out intermodal operations.
• Freightliner Ltd is the UK’s largest maritime container haulier.
In the Tees Valley, the Wilton Freightliner Terminal operates 24
hours a day. There is a daily direct service to the East Anglian port
of Felixstowe. Freightliner handles about 20,000 containers a year.
• A V Dawson Ltd operates the Ayrton International Railhead and
Store, a major distribution hub with 30,000 sq m of rail-linked
warehousing, and the Tees Riverside Intermodal Park (TRIP), a
new 54,000 square metre facility with 750 m of rail sidings.

profESSioNaLiSmThe Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) was founded over 100
years ago in London at time when UK ports were thriving, British
shipbuilding was at its zenith and British shipping companies were
a major force in world trade. From the start, the ICS was about
professionalism and everything associated with professionalism:

integrity, dignity and strength through knowledge. ‘Our Word our
Bond’ is the ethos of the ICS, to conduct business in an honourable
and professional manner.
Today the ICS continues as a flourishing international organisation.
Its Royal Charter has allowed it to encourage the opening of
overseas branches, leading to significant worldwide growth. The
North East of England branch has played a pivotal role in this
development and remains one of the institute’s strongest branches,
leading the way in professionalism through education.
The North East branch can be traced back to 1914 when Sydney
Hogg represented West Hartlepool on the ICS Council. The
Hartlepool Shipbrokers’ Association and Middlesbrough Shipbrokers’
Association joined the institute in 1919 and 1925 respectively. The
ports of Middlesbrough and Hartlepool were merged in accordance
with the National Ports Council in 1967 with Teesside becoming
its own branch in the 1970s. The Tees and Hartlepool branch was
formed in 1996 and was again enlarged in 2009 following a further
merger with the Newcastle branch to form the North East of
England branch. Today the branch covers a geographical area from
Berwick to Whitby.
The branch continues to support professionalism through education
and works with its members to ensure that the North East of
England remains at the forefront of the shipping industry.

HAS HeLPeD BUILD THIS CONFIDeNCe INTO A SOLID
FOUNDATION FOr GrOWTH.
The driving force for investment advice and funding access is Tees
Valley Unlimited (TVU). TVU is focused on promoting the area to
potential investors and helping existing companies to expand.
TVU, created in 2011, is the local enterprise partnership (LEP) for the
Tees Valley and one of the fi rst LEPs to gain Government approval.
Funded by the fi ve local councils in Tees Valley, it has attracted over
£500 million of investment to the area in the past two years and over
£42 million of growth fund investment, creating and safeguarding
over 5,000 jobs.
Its remit also involves presenting a positive image of Tees Valley and
initiating transformational change in local communities by encouraging
and facilitating greater responsibility in future development.
TVU has direct access to local and national funding streams as well
as an unrivalled knowledge of the area and is often the fi rst point
of contact for businesses looking to invest in Tees Valley. TVU also
monitors trends, demographics and economic performance to
identify and shape local strategies, transport planning and issues that
need attention to support current and future employers.
By engaging with the business community and promoting Tees
Valley as a suitable area for investment, Tees Valley Unlimited has
been able to secure streamlined Government funding and attract
signifi cant private sector investment.
SKILLS bASEThe skills base of the Tees Valley is second to none. Benefi ting from
many years as a centre of heavy industry and later the off shore
oil industry, today this skill diversity has translated into other
sectors with equal success, including renewable energy, wind farm
construction, logistics and advanced engineering.
About 1.7 million people of working age are located within 30
miles of Tees Valley and studies indicate this workforce is loyal and
hard-working. However, it is the deep-rooted skills base that keeps
attracting companies to the area.
For an employers’ perspective, there are signifi cant benefi ts and
substantial savings to be made by locating in the Tees Valley,
including some of the most aff ordable business rents in the country,
low staffi ng costs and a wide range of premises and land available
for development.
Studies have also shown there are savings to be made on fuel
costs and driving time because of Tees Valley’s central UK location,
excellent infrastructure and proximity to market centres. Tees Valley
has the fastest-fl owing traffi c in the UK, with most roads free of
congestion even at busy times of day.
ENTERPRISE zONESThe Tees Valley Enterprise Zone was among the fi rst in the UK to be
approved by the Government. The zone consists of 12 individual
sites covering a total of 423 hectares. It includes existing offi ce and
industrial sites as well as some cleared land sites with access to
utilities, port services and logistics. Many of the sites are located near
the port areas of Hartlepool or Teesport.
Businesses that decide to locate in Tees Valley Enterprise Zones can
take advantage of fi nancial incentives such as enhanced capital
allowance and business rate relief as well as simplifi ed planning
regimes and super-fast broadband.
The sites are focused on companies operating in identifi ed
key sectors such as advanced manufacturing and engineering,
chemicals, renewable energy and digital.
LIFETees Valley off ers many advantages to employees looking to locate
to the area. As well as providing the best of city living with easy
access to the beauty of the surrounding countryside, it is home
to internationally recognised art galleries, museums, good shops,
award-winning restaurants, picturesque seaside villages, a wildlife
sanctuary and plenty of sports facilities.
Much of the region has been subject to regeneration and
redevelopment in recent years. Stockton and Middlesbrough have
come a long way since their industrial heyday, off ering modern
infrastructure, housing and offi ces as well as attractive redeveloped
former industrial areas such as Middlehaven, Riverside and Northshore.
Education is a top priority, with GCSE grades improving faster than
the national average. There is plenty of scope for further education:
six universities within an hour’s drive, fi ve colleges in Tees Valley and
over 20 other training centres. All of these work closely with local
industry to provide courses suitable for relevant skills delivery.
Furthermore, Tees Valley is one of the most aff ordable areas of the UK
for housing, with house prices only about half the national average.
