North Sea Supply Base A V Dawson’s North Sea Supply Base is a well-known landmark on the south shore of the river in Middlesbrough. The 45 metre high fabrication halls, the largest on the Tees, provide some 15,000 sq m of shed space, 5,000 sq m of warehousing and office accommodation for up to 500 people. The fabrication halls have nine overhead cranes supported by quay cranes of up to 215 tonnes capacity alongside a 750 metre quay. The North Sea Supply Base can be used for all kinds of onshore and offshore engineering projects including fabrication and decommissioning of offshore structures; and has facilities for haulage, heavy lift, rail traffic, warehousing and wharfage. The base is also home to companies involved in the subsea and project forwarding sector, scaffolding and access systems, blasting and marine coatings. Companies based here include the subsea energy company Modus Seabed Intervention and the subsea cable-laying company Prysmian PowerLink Services. A V Dawson is also offering support to offshore wind energy companies.

The Tees Valley contains the largest integrated chemical complex in the UK and the secondlargest in western Europe. Sites on both sides of the River Tees dominate the economic and physical landscape of the area.
One of the largest potential investments is to come from Sirius Minerals’ flagship York Potash Project. An estimated £1.7 billion could be invested in the UK’s first new potash mine for over 40 years. Located 45 miles south of Teesport, if built the mine will be connected by buried pipeline to a processing plant at Wilton.

commuNiTy PD Ports is one of the driving forces behind the High Tide Foundation. This new charity was set up by port-related businesses along the River Tees to raise the aspirations of young people on Teesside by offering better training and employment opportunities. Working with the High Tide Foundation, the wider industrial community and local education and training providers, PD Ports runs effective programmes giving people practical skills and experience in port-related sectors. The first result of these programmes was the creation in 2013 of 13 full-time permanent positions for apprentices in operational roles at Teesport. This represents a 100 percent success rate following the introduction of the bespoke 18-month apprenticeship scheme in 2011. PD Ports is an active member of Business in the Community (BiTC). Since joining in 2011, it has become firmly established in a network of multinational household names, small local businesses and public sector organisations that all stand for responsible business. In 2012 David Robinson, chief executive of PD Ports, was appointed Regional Ambassador to HRH The Prince of Wales for his leadership in bringing businesses together to help improve the skills and aspirations of young people on Teesside. In 2013 HRH The Prince of Wales visited the headquarters of PD Ports and met with young people and their mentors from the
