Dalby Offshore Services is working with Scarborough Borough Council to promote the Borough – and the ports of Whitby and Scarborough in particular – as a location to establish offshore wind operations and maintenance activity.
Following an open tender process, Dalby Offshore Services Limited were identified as the Councils preferred bidder for the development of Endeavour Wharf, Whitby.
Dalby now proposes the establishment of a centre to undertake personnel and equipment transfer, vessel management operations and vessel servicing activity. They are also proposing the inclusion within the development of an offshore renewables information / visitor centre which will be open to the public.
The company is now recruiting a team of architects and it will be undertaking full public consultation in the coming weeks.
Dalby believes it will have have undertaken the majority of the consultation and development work by the spring of 2015, and to have the proposals implemented and operational by the beginning of 2016.
