Belgian company Smulders Projects has taken over the former OGN facility at Wallsend and are constructing offshore wind turbine foundations there.
They currently have an order for 11 such foundations for a wind farm off Aberdeen. Hopefully it will drive lots of new ship activity on the Tyne.
This overall view shows new undersea foundations being constructed on the left and topsides (yellow) on the right which have come in by barge.
Smulders are constructing two gantry cranes of 600 tonnes capacity plus a large ring crane that will lift 3,200 tonnes.
