Dundee’s prospects of becoming a decommissioning hub for North Sea oil and gas takes another step closer this month as the port starts the construction of a new quayside specifically designed to handle this work.
Forth Ports, owner of the Port of Dundee, has appointed Southbay Civil Engineering to deliver the £10 million quayside, making it one of the largest investments in the history of the port.
The private investment will create a new quayside with an industry-leading “heavy lift” capability, coupled with a significant onshore operational area at the port.
The new quayside will add both berthing and land capacity at the east side of the port and will represent a significant increase in port capacity in the North East region.
