Able Uk, Middlesbrough, June 2014

Able Uk are a decomissioning firm,
dealing with all types off offshore structures inc vessels and rigs.
They aquired the former Davy offshore yard in 2000,
which became empty in April 2013 the site is currently on the market.
The rusting Tuxedo Royale is been kept at the west of the Yard,
its condition is deteriorating.

some of the buildings are dire,
but the fabrication halls with gantry cranes are impressive.
