Tugdock and Sarens have secured funding from The Crown Estate through the initial round of its innovative Supply Chain Accelerator. This match funding supports a joint project by Tugdock and Sarens to develop a heavy lift operations and maintenance (O&M) hub at ABP’s port of Port Talbot in Wales.
With key support from major industry players such as ABP and RWE, the facility aims to provide world-class support for heavy lift equipment used in floating offshore wind projects in the Celtic Sea.
Established in May 2024, the Supply Chain Accelerator is a £50 million fund created to accelerate and de-risk the early-stage development of UK supply chain projects that service the offshore wind sector.
Sarens provides crane rental services, heavy lifting, and engineered transport. Tugdock specialises in the engineering and deployment of Tugdock Submersible Platforms (TSPs) for offshore transport and logistics projects.
