A LARGE wind farm being built in the North Sea has taken a base at the Port of Tyne.

The move by the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm, which is being delivered by Danish firm Ørsted, to sign a lease for up to 100,000 square metres of space at the port in South Shields comes as the port is building a reputation for work in the offshore energy sector.

The site at Tyne Clean Energy Park in South Shields will be fundamental to the construction of what is expected to be the world's single largest offshore wind farm.

Ørsted will use the site to marshal secondary steel components for the project before each unit is loaded onto the Wind Orca, a state-of-the-art jack-up vessel, ahead of setting off to the Hornsea 3 site.
