The Plymouth based facility comprising quayside space for launch and recovery and waterside or inland space for workshops, classrooms, collaboration space, manufacturing facilities will be designed to rapidly grow UK marine autonomy capability, supply chain expertise and export capability across sectors primarily for offshore wind and as an enabler for dual innovation with other sectors including maritime, and defence. Complementing existing facilities in the region by delivering commercial research and development, volume manufacture, test and validate platforms, sensors, and robotics for offshore asset inspection, environmental data collection and long range subsea and surface surveillance. The hub will have the capacity to support development of future +30metre craft to support offshore renewables installation, operations, and maintenance. Preferred sites will be down selected by AMTecH partners in late 2026 who will then need expert advice on the challenges to develop those sites and budgetary estimates of development costs/ planning costs/ license costs, to inform the investment proposal which must be ready by mid 2027. Previous experience in waterside development in Plymouth and design of industrial facilities will be considered to be favorable As part of this process ORE Catapult will be hosting a meet the buyer event on Friday 26th June 2026 at 1000hrs (Fugro, Turnchapel Wharf, Barton Rd, Turnchapel, Plymouth PL9 9RQ).
