Prior Power Solutions’ new facility will offer specialist servicing, repairs, and parts supply for vessel operators working on key North Sea wind farms. The expansion reflects the company’s commitment to building on its strong track record in supporting marine operations across the UK and internationally.
The company has an established reputation in marine engineering and offshore support and Grimsby’s location and infrastructure were additional key factors in the decision.
As Europe’s leading offshore wind O&M hub, the port provides unrivalled proximity to major wind projects including Hornsea, Triton Knoll, and Dogger Bank. This geographic advantage ensures reduced transit time for vessels requiring service, minimising downtime and keeping offshore operations on schedule.
The town also boasts a well-established marine infrastructure, with facilities for vessel berthing and lifting—making it an ideal environment for efficient vessel turnaround. The demand for mechanical and engine support services in the area also presented a clear opportunity for Prior Power Solutions to add value.
The new base is the result of a local collaboration between Prior Power Solutions, Bacon Engineering Group, and the Port of Grimsby East.
“Grimsby is key to the UK’s offshore wind future, and our presence here enables us to provide fast, expert support to vessel operators” said James Rix, Managing Director at Prior Power Solutions. “This move not only strengthens our offering but supports the wider supply chain critical to offshore success.”
