A Beverley-based marine services provider is creating 10 new jobs after securing a £1.36 million asset finance facility to buy a new workboat.
Dalby Offshore Renewables is adding a high specification 20-metre Alicat Workboat to its fleet after securing the funding from Santander Corporate and Commercial.
The new vessel, 'Dalby Trent', will enable Dalby to commit to further support to offshore wind farms.
Managing Director Stuart McNiven said: "I'm thrilled to be adding a new vessel to our fleet and to be continuing to work with the team at Santander on our latest growth plans.
"I'm keen to focus our growth plans for the renewable energy sector and in particular, wind farms.
"We know that three of the largest wind farms in the North Sea will be established off the Humber Estuary and East Coast of England, so my plan is to be well equipped to meet that demand when it comes."
