Description

Strategically located in the Cromarty Firth and with direct access to the North Sea, The Port of Nigg is widely recognised for its multi-sector capability. Within its 740,000m2 footprint, the facilities include a major construction and marshalling yard, covered fabrication hall and deepwater quaysides. The site includes the well-known graving dock where many North Sea platforms were constructed. Today the Port of Nigg is busy supporting offshore and onshore renewables, oil, gas & nuclear projects.

Global Energy Group have kindly invited the IMechE Aberdeen Branch to visit the Port facilities for a guided bus tour. The tour will take in a range of the onsite capabilities. These include the marshalling area for the Seagreen wind farm jackets, turbines for the Creag Riabhach onshore wind farm, a 2800 ton ring crane, tanker berth and other offshore vessels, FPSOs and/or rigs that will be in port. Lunch will be provided and there will be a presentation about the Port’s history and ongoing development.
