Works are underway to create a bigger slipway capable of launching and recovering large marine energy devices and vessels by adjusting two existing slipways. The removal of the central section between the two slipways will create a new supersize facility and the materials removed will be repurposed to infill the timber pond on the south side of the site, creating hard standing for industrial use.

The construction of a new workboat pontoon is also in progress near the existing ferry berth. The pontoon will provide much-needed berthing for vessels to support long term operations and maintenance contracts for the floating offshore wind (FLOW) industry.

The Pembroke Dock Marine project will establish a world-class centre for marine energy and engineering with easy access to the Celtic Sea and its significant marine energy resources. We’re also supporting the renewable industry by creating additional fabrication and laydown space, and developing office and workshop spaces in the Hangar Annexes.

Construction started in August 2022 by contractor BAM Nuttall and is expected to complete by the end of 2023.

The work is progressing well:

• All ten of the 24 metre long piles are now in situ with the two support barges currently being demobilised ready to depart the Haven
• The five 25 metre long pontoons are in manufacture with the first pair expected to be delivered to site in April
• Progression of the existing slipway demolition progresses with approximately half of the new slipway slab bays having been poured
• Infilling of timber pond is approximately 90% complete
