The world class facility will be the centre for marine energy development, fabrication, testing and deployment in the town’s naval dockyard.

Pembrokeshire County Council Leader, Cllr Jamie Adams, said:

This announcement is the culmination of several years hard work by the Leaders, Chief Executives and officers not only from the region’s local authorities but also those from universities, health boards and the private sector.

The Port of Milford Haven has partnered with Marine Energy Wales, ORE Catapult and Wave Hub and is working alongside Swansea University and Pembrokeshire College. Together they are poised to drive innovation and herald the commercialisation of wave and tidal stream technology in Wales.
