The Port of Milford Haven has prepared a development plan for the strategic improvement of Pembroke Port, aligning itself with the Swansea Bay City Deal. This redevelopment along with other project elements are collectively known as Pembroke Dock Marine. This UK and Welsh Government supported project will support the diversification of a strategic UK fossil fuel energy hub into a centre for the renewable energy industry. This will protect both the region and UK in terms of energy security, economy and inclusivity while also working towards achieving decarbonisation targets.
This would be the first of its kind in Wales and would assist in diversifying the already established oil and gas supply chain, as well as attracting new business (in the form of developers and associated supply chain) to the region.
Pembroke Dock Marine comprises four separate but interrelated elements that together will build on an existing energy cluster that has grown around the Pembroke Dock area, in order to develop a world class centre for blue economic development.
The Port of has secured funding from the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) and further funding is expected from the Swansea Bay City Deal and the Port of Milford Haven. Given the contribution of public funds for the works, compliance with WEFO requirements will be mandatory for all consultants engaged in the project.
