Port of Tyne

With the deepest dedicated offshore berth in the North East, the Port of Tyne is located within 100nm of 7 wind farms and is port of choice for the Equinor / SSE Renewables O&M base for Dogger Bank.

The Tyne is home to an existing offshore cluster with organisations such as Smulders, A&P and Shepherds contributing to a well-established offshore energy supply chain.

Given its importance to the entire region, the Port also benefits from unique partnerships with Newcastle International Airport, Nexus (local transport authority) and the Local Enterprise Partnership, giving our customers access to some of the most strategic transport infrastructure companies in the North East.

The Port of Tyne is viewed as one of the most progressive in the UK. We opened the UK’s first - and still the only - Maritime 2050 Innovation Hub and are working collaboratively with some of the biggest and best innovation companies to solve industry problems.  Our intentionally ambitious 'Tyne 2050' strategy includes targets such as 'Carbon Neutral by 2030', 'Double Diversity by 2030' and 'All Electric by 2040'.

Health, Safety & Environmental Management are key areas of focus at the Port. Our commitment to achieving Zero Harm by 2022 is central to our safety strategy; we already have ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 accreditations and are working towards achieving the ISO 44001 standard. We are also the only UK port to have an internationally accredited pilotage service and are the UK’s designated ‘port of refuge’ in times of adverse weather, due to the natural shelter that the harbour provides.
