S2 Ep2: Ports and Flow

Beyond Brunel - from the South West Infrastructure Partnership (SWIP)

Are South West ports ready for floating offshore wind?

That’s the important question posed in Season 2 Episode 2 of the Beyond Brunel podcast. Captain Richard Allan, Chief Executive and Harbour Master, Port of Plymouth and member of the South West Regional Ports Association, and Matt Hodson, Chief Operations Officer, Celtic Sea Power (based in Cornwall) join Chris Ackland to discuss the readiness of South West ports for floating offshore wind.

Among the topics they cover, they talk about the considerable challenges but also the South West’s potential to become a leader in the industry. They highlight the need for collaboration and for capital investment and coordinated policy action to support the development of infrastructure and ensure its success.
