Port of Blyth: Full steam ahead for Motive quayside facility
23 MARCH 2023
Motive Offshore Group first established the Motive Northeast England Hub in the Port of Blyth during 2021.
Building on its growing presence within the area, securing premises at the leading offshore energy support base Port of Blyth enables Motive to bring its full range of rentals, engineering, and spooling & inspection services to the region doorstep.

In a reactive, fast-paced industry where flexibility and speed of service are vital, the new Hub within the Port of Blyth enables Motive to fully address market demands. On-hand to support vessels whilst in port, and with a base local to our expanding Northeast clientele, creates easy access to a range of essential vessel services.
Consolidating sourcing with a specialist team
The Motive Port of Blyth facility caters for any vessel services including mobilisations, inspection and testing, welding and fabrication, quayside transpooling, deck equipment rental, and pallet and reel storage solutions.
Key to our streamlined services is our multi-disciplined team of specialists. Our range of expertise enables one single team to cover entire work scopes - from installation and commissioning, to testing and operating.
About the Hub
The Motive Northeast England Hub is ideally placed to cover emergency repairs, unexpected equipment requirements, or responsive NDT. Clients can expect a fast, responsive service at their convenience during docking, avoiding unnecessary downtime.
Plans for continued development of the facility will eventually see Motive replicate its infrastructure to that of Motive Headquarters at Boyndie, Aberdeenshire.
The facility is managed by Northeast of England Area Manager, Ben Gray who joined Motive Offshore Group in 2020. Ben has a long background in the Engineering industry, most latterly within Project Management for back-deck equipment such as Bow Cable Engines, Tensioners and Turntables, and Reel Drive Systems.
Responsible for the development of Motive’s Port of Blyth base, Ben is focused on building capacity and capabilities within the region, supporting all day-to-day operations across our Rentals, Engineering, and Spooling & Inspection service lines.
