| Description |
|---|
Corporation Quay is the port’s principal deep-water river berth situated on the west side of the port estate on the south side of the River Wear. Located minutes from open sea, the facility offers over 323 metres of vessel berthing to vessels with a beam of 35 metres and drafts of 8.5 metres. The berth has recently benefitted from the restitution of an operational rail spur adjacent to the quay, allowing a direct link to the national rail network. There is a large area of hardstanding ideal for material laydown and mobilisation operations. The quay has facilitated major project support for the offshore and renewable sectors and has an 11 hectare area on the adjacent Trinity: Rail Road and Sea Enterprise Zone. |
