Situated on the most eastern edge of the Norfolk coast between the North Sea and the picturesque Norfolk Broads, Great Yarmouth is firmly in the centre of the European shipping and offshore energy industries.
Great Yarmouth is the ideal location for businesses who supply and serve oil and gas platforms or wind energy farms in the Southern North Sea. The town is nearer to mainland Europe than it is to London by just a few miles, with just 108 nautical miles separating Great Yarmouth from the continent. London is 120 miles away.
Already easily accessible by sea, getting to Great Yarmouth has never been quicker or easier. Road access has been significantly improved with the A11 dual carriageway which runs from the M11 at Cambridge to nearby Norwich just 20 miles away.
The Outer Harbour and long river port, can easily accommodate vessels of all shapes and sizes as they load up or unload their goods.
The heliport based at Norwich International Airport ensures that staff, clients and service engineers can easily transfer to their Southern North Sea final destination.
