    Objectives

    To provide the robust infrastructure that the OWT industry needs

    To allow tenants to benefit from economies of scale by creating a truly integrated offshore wind cluster

    To play a pivotal role in accelerating offshore wind installation rates and achieve vital cost reductions

    Land is available for development immediately and the first quays will become available in 2017.

    AHP’s on-site rail link provides direct access to TATA Scunthorpe Steel Mill which kicks out enough steel to make 490 Eiffel Towers per year. TATA’s wind turbine tower steel plate facility is located here.

    AHP is situated on the widest estuary the UK has to offer. The Humber’s natural characteristics offer a sheltered harbour location with two deep water channels providing quick and unhindered access to the open seas. Humber Estuary – Key Marine Information
