Associated British Ports (ABP) and FibreMax have signed an MOU aimed at exploring development opportunities at ABP’s Port of Swansea as well as the region’s floating offshore wind (FLOW) sector.
“We are delighted to sign this MOU with FibreMax, a world leader in fiber cables,” says Andy Reay, head of offshore wind at ABP.
“It marks a further tangible step forward in the transformational prospects for FLOW in the Celtic Sea. The Swansea Bay region presents an unparalleled opportunity for U.K. industry, sited in an area of rich industrial heritage, ideally suited to support upcoming Celtic Sea FLOW development.”
The partnership aims to explore the possibility of creating a new bespoke dockside facility, enabling production of future offshore renewable components with a just-in-time supply chain solution working with Welsh partners.
