Global heavy lift and transport specialist Mammoet has secured a five-year exclusive contract with Steel River Quay, located at the heart of the Teesworks industrial zone in Teesside, UK.

The agreement grants Mammoet exclusive rights to provide heavy lift and transport services for the 2,600-acre site, a key component of the UK’s largest freeport. This strategic partnership aims to drive investment, create jobs, and enhance operational excellence in the region.

Mammoet will deploy a range of equipment, including mobile and crawler cranes and SPMT trailers, to support the site’s operations. The company will also collaborate with the Teesworks Skills Academy to upskill the local workforce through its Mammoet Academy training program.

Mark Sadler, Managing Director at Mammoet, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the shared goal of supporting growth in the Teesside area. The contract is expected to contribute significantly to the development of the Teesworks industrial zone and its position as a key player in the UK’s offshore wind energy sector.

Oliver Smith, Senior Commercial Manager at Mammoet, said, “We are delighted that Steel River Quay sees value in Mammoet’s experience, team, training and fleet, and has appointed us as its exclusive heavy-lift equipment contractor. We look forward to working with their team and supporting low-carbon and offshore clean energy projects.”

Mammoet’s extensive experience in the sector, including its involvement in major projects such as Hywind Tampen and Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm, will be instrumental in developing Steel River Quay into a world-class offshore wind marshalling facility.

The partnership will see Mammoet provide early project engagement, engineering support, and access to its global network and equipment.

Teesworks Chairman Chris Musgrave added, “Mammoet is the world leader in heavy lift and transport solutions. This agreement will grant us access to its global network, experience and equipment, and the support and involvement of its management and safety teams. It will bring many benefits to the businesses and future of Steel River Quay as it develops into a world-class offshore wind marshalling facility and we look forward to many years working together.”

Mammoet will provide early contractor engagement, advisory support and engineering guidance at the front end of each individual project to deliver its contracts to a safe and effective completion.
