Port of Boston, UK

Vector PTS was invited by the Environment Agency to provide expert advisory services on a vital flood protection project at the Port of Boston — a critical initiative safeguarding both infrastructure and communities against the growing challenges of flood risk.

We brought focused expertise to several key areas of the project, offering thorough reviews of port equipment and towage equipment selections to ensure the most suitable and economical solutions were identified for the demands of the project.

Alongside this, we conducted a rigorous cost analysis encompassing both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX), providing a clear and comprehensive picture of the project’s financial landscape.

Furthermore, Vector PTS lent its expertise to the procurement process, supporting efficient cost assessment. Our involvement ensured that decisions were grounded in both technical merit and financial prudence — assisting the EA through their flood protection works.
