For those that do not know: Nexus run the North/South Shields Ferries. The ferries are maintained on the slipway on River Drive and that appears to be, currently, the only use of the yard.

To Quote:-
“The Nexus Environment Policy sets the principles and values by which Nexus will operate. The environment strategy sets out the following core objectives:

• To assess and reduce the environmental impact caused by Nexus operations and the operations of companies supplying us and working on our behalf
• To engender an organisational culture of sustainability that supports and promotes environmentally ethical behaviours
• To make a positive contribution to the cultural and economic development of Tyne and Wear in an environmentally sustainable way
• To play a key role in partnership with local authorities and transport operators to develop and implement environmentally sustainable transport policies that will be efficient, effective and economic”
