Mammoet has signed a five-year exclusive contract to provide heavy lift and transport equipment and services to Steel River Quay, an offshore wind marshalling facility located in the Teesworks industrial zone in the UK.

Under the contract, the Dutch heavy lift specialist will supply specialist field personnel, mobile cranes, crawler cranes and SPMT trailers.

At the front end of each project, Mammoet will provide early contractor engagement, advisory support and engineering guidance, and will also work closely with the Teesworks Skills Academy to train and upskill the local workforce through access to its in-house skills and training school, the company said in a press release on 30 July.

“Mammoet is the world leader in heavy lift and transport solutions. This agreement will grant us access to its global network, experience and equipment, and the support and involvement of its management and safety teams. It will bring many benefits to the businesses and future of Steel River Quay as it develops into a world-class offshore wind marshalling facility and we look forward to many years working together,” Teesworks Chairman Chris Musgrave.

Teesworks is a 2,600-acre site located on the banks of the River Tees in the Northeast of England. The industrial site is part of the Teesside Freeport, the largest freeport in the UK, and is also home to SeAH Wind’s new XXL monopile manufacturing facility. The monopile factory is being built on the South Bank Heavy Lift Quay.

Oliver Smith, Senior Commercial Manager at Mammoet, said: “We are delighted that Steel River Quay sees value in Mammoet’s experience, team, training and fleet, and has appointed us as its exclusive heavy-lift equipment contractor. We look forward to working with their team and supporting low-carbon and offshore clean energy projects.”
