ABLE Humber Port – ABLE Marine Energy Park

The Able Marine Energy Park (AMEP) is a fully consented project within sole ownership of Able Humber Ports Ltd that will be a bespoke port facility for the Renewable Energy Sector, particularly Offshore Wind. It will represent a c £450m investment by ABLE UK Ltd and covers an area of c 331 ha and will feature 1,349m of new heavy-duty deep-water quays. AMEP is a very simple concept based on industrial logic that will meet the needs of the emerging renewable energy sectors. For a sector where proximity to market is paramount, it makes sense to offer a ‘big space in the right place’, with substantial quays built to accommodate the deployment of large industrial components to the North Sea and beyond – all this, in the heart of the largest offshore wind market in the world.

AMEP offers 1,349m of new heavy-duty deep-water quays and 217 hectares (phase 1 – could increase to 331 hectares) of developable land. It is designed specifically for the marine renewables sector providing a multi-user facility for the manufacture, storage, assembly and deployment of next generation offshore wind turbines and their associated supply chain(s). AMEP quays have been designed following extensive liaison with the offshore wind industry (developers, manufacturers and installation vessel operators). They will not be affected by higher current velocities that occur in other parts of the estuary providing 24-hour access to AMEP. The facility will be fully fit for purpose, future proofed, and particularly suited for the deployment of new generation jack-up installation vessels. The quays are suitably designed for importation of components and raw materials.
