In 2011, Siemens Gamesa and Associated British Ports signed a memorandum of understanding concerning the construction of a wind energy machine manufacturing plant at Alexandra Dock. The factory was formally inaugurated on 1 December 2016. Siemens Gamesa submitted plans in February 2021 to double the size of its wind turbine blade manufacturing facility in the city in a move that could support the creation of hundreds of jobs.

The Humber Estuary

The Humber Estuary or River Humber is a large tidal estuary on the east coast of Northern England. It is formed at Trent Falls by the confluence of the tidal rivers Ouse and Trent. From there to the North Sea, it forms part of the boundary between the East Riding of Yorkshire on the north bank and North Lincolnshire on the south bank.
