CONNECTED TO THE WORLD
Teesport – scale, flexibility and available land.
flexibility to support a wide range of large-scale industrial uses, including advanced manufacturing, heavy lift, project cargoes and high-volume bulk handling operations.
The site’ s scale, deep-water access and proximity to an established industrial cluster represent a rare combination in the UK market, supporting major investment across multiple sectors.
This site is the final piece in a wider transformation of Teesport over the past decade, as PD Ports has repositioned and rebuilt its operations to support modern, large-scale industry.
Economic modelling indicates that a developed Teesport Offshore Gateway site would contribute £ 270m gross value added per year to the local economy and support the creation of more than 2,200 direct and indirect jobs.
Jerry says:“ The Gateway site is an incredibly versatile asset. There is strong interest from the offshore wind sector, but we are not dependent on any single market.
“ The real strength of the site is its ability to support whichever sectors can make the best use of its scale, location and direct access to deep water.
“ That means we can pivot with confidence- whether that is offshore wind, large-scale manufacturing or other major industrial uses that need to move materials by sea.
“ Having reshaped the port over the past decade, this river frontage now represents the final stage in unlocking Teesport’ s full potential and we are ready to work with partners who want to make that happen.”
Unique asset – PD Ports executive chairman Jerry Hopkinson says Teesport can pivot with confidence.

These upgrades increase flexibility, allowing operational teams to select the right handling method and equipment for each cargo.
