Strategically located for the Southern North Sea, Great Yarmouth has been recognised as a centre of excellence in the offshore energy sector and the principle base for operations in the Southern North Sea gas sector for more than half a century.
Great Yarmouth has had gas at the cornerstone of its economy since its discovery in the North Sea in the early 1960s and has the most concentrated reservoir of expertise, experience and knowledge available anywhere, that gas is extracted, in the UK.
So much so, that it is said that wherever in the world there is an offshore hydrocarbon-related development in hand, there will be an engineer or technician from Great Yarmouth somewhere not far away.
Shallow water engineering, mature asset management and normally unmanned installations (NUIs) are among the many areas of expertise that have been developed in Great Yarmouth as the town has adapted to an ever-changing industry.
One of Great Yarmouth’s key assets is its ability to deliver reliable and efficient supply chain services, with road haulage, sea transport and logistics providers working together in a highly co-ordinated way.
