P O R T A U T H O R I T Y
FOREWORD
Welcome to Peterhead Port Authority’s first
handbook heralding the beginning of the UK’s newest Trust Port, occasioned by the merger of the former Peterhead Harbour Trustees and the Peterhead Bay Authority.
The combination of the port’s assets has come at a time of strong growth in the oil sector and record price returns in the fishing. Both sectors have witnessed immediate benefits through improved flexibility as regards available quay space and conducting their operations in a climate of single administration. This has improved the efficiency of port calls in terms of turnaround time, cost and management.
The new Authority has worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless
change for their customers and staff. Harbour maintenance has been a top priority in ensuring a structurally sound, sustainable and safe working environment.
Reinvestment in the fish processing units it leases out and purchasing strategic sites have assisted in underpinning one of the port’s primary objectives of maintaining its well earned status as the country’s premier fishing port. With landings in excess of £107 million, split evenly between demersal and pelagic species, the Authority is constantly vigilant to the diverse and changing needs of this industry.
Amongst its plans in the near future is a £20 million major civil engineering infrastructure project that will deliver additional deep and sheltered berthing with a significant area of back up landside. This
development will form the central axis around which a Master Planblue print will emerge which graphically details the strategic medium and long-term objectives of the port.
As a Trust Port all of the company’s profits are reinvested to manage, maintain and support this Master Plan and therefore in turn our businesses, stakeholders and customers.
We look forward to a very bright future, secure in the knowledge that the port has sound governance, is a safe and environmentally conscious concern and embraces the opportunity the future holds for the port, the town and those we serve.

INTRODUCTION
AN historic decision
to bring the port
operations of
Peterhead under one
single Authority has
delivered a host of
benefits to port users
and stake holders, and
opened an exciting new
chapter for the Port of
Peterhead.
Peterhead already holds a
leading position in Europe for
both demersal and pelagic
fishing and as the most easterly
deepwater port on the Scottish
mainland it plays a critical role
in servicing the busy North
Sea oil industry.
By combining the strengths
of the former Peterhead Bay
Authority and Peterhead
Harbour Trustees, the new
Peterhead Port Authority can
further build its activities in
these two key sectors whilst
continuing to explore other
market opportunities.
Peterhead now offers a
much larger “pool” of berths
and other resources, so that
facilities can always be found
for potential users.
The port is being marketed
with a common identity and,
of course, there are clear cost
savings from combining and
sharing functions such as
operational and marine
services, pilotage, vessel traffic
services (VTS) and port control.
The creation of one trust
responsible for the operation,
management and development
of the whole port formally
took place on January 1, 2006.
Integration of the two
different organisations will
be largely complete by early
2007, when Peterhead Port
Authority is due to relocate
to newly built offices next to
the port control buildings at
West Pier.
At present, the £6+ million
turnover of the Peterhead
Port Authority is split fairly

INTRODUCTION
evenly between its property portfolio,
oil and fish. Historically, the north side
of the harbour has been primarily fishing
and ship repair related, while the south
side has been more focused on oil and
offshore activities.
However, one of the key strategic
reasons behind the merger is the need
to diversify. Fish on the one side and
oil on the other currently balance each
other – and there is more opportunity
to use all of the berths in a more
coordinated way. Other markets are
being pursued and developed in order
to smooth out any sectoral downturns.
Diversification must go further. In
many ways, the economy of the town of
Peterhead revolves around the success
of our port and that means it is essential
that the Port Authority moves ahead to
stabilise the existing business, attract in
other types of income streams, and build
an integrated development strategy for
the port’s future development.
To tackle this challenge, infrastructure
development consultant Halcrow has
been appointed to consider the options
for an initial £20 million investment at
the port. In particular, Halcrow’s study
will consider issues such as the shortage of
available land, the need for more
sheltered deepwater berthing and ways
of developing more quayside facilities.
All stakeholders – from port users
to local authorities, engineering and
painting companies to community bodies
– will be consulted on an ongoing basis
regarding the future direction of
the Port of Peterhead.
Investment needs must be prioritised
then the optimised project proposal
will be subject to detailed design and
technical work, with a view to starting
construction in 2008.
What is clear is that Peterhead’s
outstanding range of facilities, including
cargo handling, fish processing, ship
repair and oil support, together with a
really positive approach to customer
service, is scoring top marks with the
port’s users.
Now, as a single operation, Peterhead
Port Authority can offer increased
flexibility, better efficiency and a
carefully planned expansion to cater for
future demand.
Bringing the port facilities of
Peterhead under one Authority
has huge benefits for port users
and the wider community, says
William Mackie, convener of the
Peterhead Port Authority.
“As a trust port, our activities must
be beneficial to the whole community
– that is imperative,” he says. “The port
has always been a major employer and
the town is heavily dependent upon our
industry and activity.
“For every fisherman that went to
sea, it was said there were eight to ten
jobs ashore. And on the other side, the
oil-related sector as a major employer is
equally important.
“Merging the two port authorities
has brought enormous advantages.
On the marine side, we have a much
broader range of facilities at our
disposal, where one side or the other
may previously have had to turn away
work. Now we have a bigger base to
operate from and more flexible quay
space and integrated services.
“The merger also means that the
highs and lows of the different sectors
can be ironed out”.
The next step, says Mr Mackie, is to
take stock of where the port is in terms
of the services it offers and facilities
available and consider the way forward
with future developments.
“There are clearly some crucial
decisions to be made in the coming
years. We must look at where we want
to be in 10 to 20 years’ time. We must
use what we have and look for new
avenues in order to generate revenue
for the port and the community.’
Peterhead is a trust port, thus all of
its profits are re-invested back into the
port to manage, maintain and develop its
facilities.

PETERHEAD Bay
Harbour lies
between Keith Inch to
the north and Salthouse
Head to the south.
Its sheltered waters are
protected by the North
Breakwater extending 400
metres south-south-west
from Keith Inch, and by the
South Breakwater extending
750 metres north-east from
Salthouse Head.
The port offers a deepwater
entrance and berthing to a
maximum depth of 14 metres.
One of Peterhead’s key
strengths is its unique ability
in north-east Scotland to
accommodate and offer safe
facilities to very large vessels,
which do not have to wait for
high water. The largest vessel
to be accommodated at the
port so far is the 127,553 dwt
tanker Kitty Knutsen, which
has called several times in the
past two years.
The port’s wide range of
facilities is split between two
areas to the north and south
of the harbour.
General berthing is available

and there are specialist facilities for the
offshore oil and gas support sector, for
the fishing industry, and for handling
tankers.
The port also has the benefit of a
thriving ship repair operation in the
northern harbour, including a
“Syncrolift”, which allows vessels of up
to 2,000 tonnes to be lifted out of the
water for repair, painting and
maintenance.
As well as its two major areas of
activity, fishing and offshore support,
Peterhead handles a significant volume of
bulk cargoes, which include grain, oilseed
rape, stone, peat, fertiliser, animal
feedstuffs, fresh and frozen fish, fuel oil
and road salt.
The port benefits from immediate
access to the trunk road network,
with no quayside or road congestion.
Seawards, its proximity to the major
North Sea oil and gas fields is a critical
advantage.
As a trust port, Peterhead also
takes its responsibilities seriously when
it comes to the leisure side of the
business. In the southern part of the
harbour, the port has invested heavily in
its busy marina – and it also has a
statutory obligation to protect the
adjacent lido beach, a much-treasured
local facility for the town.
The cruise industry has also
recognised what Peterhead has to offer
and the port has handled a number of
cruise calls. With stunning scenery, golf
courses and a number of high-profile
visitor attractions within easy reach, it
has hopes for a further increase in this
sector.
Peterhead Port Authority has an
experienced and loyal workforce of 50
operating Europe’s busiest fishmarket,
ship repair facilities and harbour operations.
LOCATION AND COMMUNICATIONS
Road - Peterhead is linked by the A90
trunk road to Aberdeen and increasing
lengths of this 56 kilometres (35 miles)
road have been upgraded or dualled.
Intermediate towns and villages have been
bypassed improving access and reducing
journey times to the nearest centre for
rail and air communications. A western
by-pass of Aberdeen is planned during
the next few years. Beyond Aberdeen
the A90 through to Dundee, Edinburgh,
Glasgow and England is now fully dualled
thus enabling the rapid transfer of road
freight between Peterhead and supply,
distribution and manufacturing centres
throughout the UK.
Air - Aberdeen Airport is situated at
Dyce, on the northwest side of the city
and only 45 minutes by road from the
Port of Peterhead.
As well as numerous regular
scheduled flights between Aberdeen and
London (Heathrow, Luton and Gatwick)
there are scheduled services between
Aberdeen and all of Britain’s major cities.
International direct flights to cities in
Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands,
Ireland and France are also available
from Aberdeen.
Expansion and modernisation of
Aberdeen Airport has developed along
with the North Sea oil industry and it is
consequently the major centre for
helicopters engaged in oil industry
support work.
Rail - The rail network links Aberdeen
Railway Station to all major cities
around the UK and high speed trains
have reduced journey times between
Aberdeen and London (878 kilometres/
546 miles) to seven hours.

DEVELOPMENTS
A HUGE advantage
of merging the two
former port authorities
into one is the ability to
plan ahead – as a single
unit.
For the fi rst time, a common
strategy and master plan for
the long-term development of
Peterhead can now be formulated
to address the port’s signifi cant
expansion plans.
Halcrow Group were
appointed to look at the
present and future development
potential of the port and
draw up priorities for a major
development.
As part of this work, the
consultants spoke to the full
compliment of clients and
potential port users across
the whole spectrum of activity,
to establish how the use of
the port is likely to change
over the coming years: i.e. will
sector vessels get larger or
smaller? Will their numbers
increase or decline? How
much deepwater berthing,
quayside space or warehousing
will be required? How will
increasing demand for storage
or space for major fabrication
work be met? Is there an
opportunity to develop the
roll-on/roll-off berth for
which there have been several
enquiries in recent years? Are

BLUEPRINT FOR THE

FUTUREthere opportunities to handle

port have a future in offshore
oil and gas decommissioning?
The result of the consultation
exercise afforded the Board
a clear way forward and assisted
the discussion on which
infrastructure developments
to prioritise in order to meet
as many of the requirements
as possible.
An investment of around
£25 million is envisaged to
address the four key areas
of fi shing, oil, fabrication and
general cargo. The port
Authority recognises this
unique opportunity whereby
it begins its new role with
essentially a blank canvass
and the utmost care must be
exercised to ‘get it right
fi rst time’.
Any development
undertaken by the Board will
be cognisant of the need to
phase its progress to allow
for any unforeseen hiccups in
their business operations.
The proposed development
incorporates 200 metres of
sheltered, deepwater berthing
with adjacent working area
of 13,000 square metres. The
technical and economic
viability of the project is being
tested through a number of
studies.

DEVELOPMENTS
What is certain is that there will be
some difficult, interesting and important
decisions ahead. Priorities will be
decided in 2007. This will give a year for
detailed design and technical studies to
be carried out including wave dynamics
and engineering design, before actual
construction work can be scheduled for
early 2008.
Alongside this consultation exercise,
the port has carried out a detailed study
into the opportunities in offshore oil
and gas decommissioning and the role
Peterhead could play in response to the
North Sea fields reaching the end of
their useful life.
Peterhead has a number of competitive
advantages which it could exploit in
responding to this opportunity – but
space is at a premium, and here a
reclamation project would almost
certainly be needed.
Proximity to the oil and gas platforms
and fields is Peterhead’s biggest selling
point. The large vessels used for offshore
lifts are very expensive and often in
short supply, so for decommissioning
operators, time is money and any
operation will need to be efficient.
Not only is Peterhead very close to
the major oil and gas fields, but it also
has the experience and advantage of
skilled labour that already understands
the needs of the offshore industry.
There are several companies equipped
and experienced in refurbishment, valves,
turbines and to handle and manage
waste – waste management will be
one of the most important issues in
decommissioning, since the reputation
of the oil companies is always of prime
consideration. All of these opportunities
will be considered in drawing up plans
for the future.
CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTS
During the past 20 years the port
has developed into one of the foremost
bases for servicing the fishing and
offshore oil and gas industries. This has
been achieved through a number of
strategic investments to provide modern
facilities that meet client’s needs and
expectations. New projects are designed
to ensure that the legacy of opportunity
enjoyed in the past is passed onto future
generations

The South Base acts as the centre of ASCO’s Peterhead operations. It has a total of 11 berths across the South Base Quay, South Breakwater and Princess Royal Jetty.The South Base Quay has five berthsincluding Berth 8 which incorporates a 500 tonne heavy lift pad and is suitable for roll-on/roll-off use. All major chemical contractors are represented at the base for the supply of mud and cement materials. Several have quayside facilities for the storage and distribution of their products. Water is
available for loading at up to 100 tonnes per hour, and four vessels can load at the same time. Loading, offloading and bunkering can all be carried out at the same time. The granite-built South Breakwater provides four berths. Fuel, fresh water and bulk chemicals and cement are available by road tanker. The berths are used by commercial shipping and as general layby facilities. The South Base was designed from the start to enable the fast and efficient turnround of
The North Base is also operated by ASCO and provides a wide range of services for the construction and hook-up sectors of the offshore industry. The base offers heavy crane capacity, deepwater berthing, open storage and ready access to engineering and fabrication services. Three berths are available at the North Breakwater and there is an additional berth at the North Base Jetty. The North Breakwater, like the South Breakwater, is of granite construction. It has a 17 metre wide working area and minimum depth alongside
of 14 metres. The breakwater also incorporates a purpose-built rig mooring system designed to accommodate drilling rigs and platforms. Yokohama fenders are available for deployment when required. Vessels of up to 250 metres in length and 96,000 dwt have been handled at the breakwater. The North Breakwater is protected by a wave wall which was constructed in 2001 and greatly improved availability of berthing in poor weather. The breakwater has been used by a number of cruise ships calling at the port so that
The Tanker Jetty was originally designed to accommodate oil tankers of up to 50,000 dwt, with a draft of 11.5 metres and length of 280 metres, delivering fuel oil to Peterhead Power Station.The Tanker Jetty berth is also used for the servicing of North Sea supply vessels, diving support vessels, survey vessels and
cruise ships. It is available for vessel repair and maintenance, and also used for other activities such as crew changes. The jetty is regularly used for demonstrating or testing remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and other equipment, and accommodates offshore rigs for IRM and mobilisation work.Fresh water is available at the jetty.
The Princess Royal Jetty was built just over 10 years ago to meet increasing demand for berthing of offshore oil and gas support vessels.The 170-metre-long jetty has three berths with depths of up to 7 metres, all serviced with fuel and water. Berths 2 and 3, on the eastern side, are operated by ASCO within the South Base. Berth 1, on the western side,
is operated by Peterhead Port Authority. It has 3,200 square metres of surfaced storage area which is available for the handling of bulk and general cargoes, including fertiliser, grain, peat and frozen fish.

QUAY FACTS
Completed at cost of £18 million in 1991, Albert Quay, including East Quay, provides 340 metres of all-weather deepwater berthing for larger whitefish and pelagic fishing vessels. It is also used for handling bulk cargoes, oil imports and other trades. Sheltered deepwater berthing and heavy lift capability make Albert Quay one of the best facilities in northeast Scotland for project cargo. Quayside fabrication projects can also
be accommodated. Albert Quay also provides additional capacity for the oil industry, including diving support vessels. It has 9 metres water depth and the quay is 30 metres wide. East Quay is situated at the east end of Albert Quay. A processing factory, freezing facilities and a cold store are located on the quay and large volumes of pelagic fish landings take place in this area. A weighbridge and grain sampling gantry is also available.
Merchants Quay is one of the Port Authority’s most recent investments. Built in 2000 directly opposite Albert Quay. It offers 200 metres of berthing for fishing vessels discharging into the new fish market
and an additional 60 metre finger jetty allowing berthing on both sides. The finger jetty is used principally by pelagic vessels. Water depths are up to 6.2 metres at the quay and up to 9 metres at the finger jetty.
South Harbour is a 350 metre working quay with minimum depth of 3 metres. Deeper drafted vessels can enter on high water spring tides. The maximum length of vessel which can enter South Harbour is 92 metres.
A flake ice factory is located on the east side of South Harbour, while the Port Control Tower and harbour administration offices are situated on West Pier at the entrance to South Harbour.
North Harbour is entered from South Harbour through a junction canal (Queenie Brig) which is spanned by a lifting bridge restricting vessels to a 10.5m beam and has 720 metres of quay. The port’s ship repair
facilities, including the shiplift and covered repair berth, are located in Alexandra Basin within North Harbour. The water depth is between 2.7 and 3.0 metres Chart Datum.
Accessed via North Harbour, Port Henry Harbour offers 740 metres of quay with water depths varying from two to three metres Chart Datum. The ship repair slipway
capable of handling four vessels up to 30 metres long, and 7.2 metres beam is located here, which is also home to a tube ice factory and a number of engineering workshops.

OIL
AS the most easterly
deepwater port on
the Scottish mainland,
Peterhead has played a
very important role in the
development,
logistics, servicing and
maintenance of the
North Sea’s offshore
industry.
The port is close to the
major oil and gas fi elds of the
Northern and Central North
Sea – and in response to this
favourable location, a major
logistical support base has
grown up at Peterhead.
The ever-increasing price
of crude oil has ensured that
activity in the North Sea has
remained buoyant in recent
years. Peterhead has been
attracting oil support vessels
in record numbers, by offering
deep and sheltered berthing,
fast turnrounds, ample
quayside space and facilities
for mobilisation, onshore
storage, heavy lifts and
fabrication work.
In 2005 Peterhead handled
1,700 calls by offshore
support vessels, most of them
measuring 70 to 80 metres
in length.
A total of 16 berths across
two purpose-built oil support
bases meet the very tough
demands of the offshore
sector – 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.

SUPPORTING
ROLEAlbert Quay is also an excellent
facility for accommodating the
large offshore and diving
support vessels as is the Tanker
Jetty on occasions.
ASCO, the leading supplier
of logistics services to operators
in the North Sea, uses
Peterhead as its main logistics
hub. The company has invested
in upgrading and improving its
facilities at the port and continues
to secure new contracts, hosting
many major clients.
ASCO has many years of
experience in providing managed
supply chain solutions to the
international oil and gas sector
and other related industries.
Its key services include

ASCO in Peterhead.
With the benefit of Peterhead’s
sheltered deepwater harbour with no
tidal restrictions, ASCO’s operations are
backed by plenty of quayside, a range of
warehousing solutions and a
well-trained, experienced workforce.
The company’s Peterhead Base is
actually made up of two complementary
bases. The North Base is ideal for the
support of construction and heavy
lift operations, while the South Base
provides a valuable storage area, which
eliminates congestion on the bases and
provides a range of cost-effective
solutions to meet clients’ storage needs.
A number of offshore operators
and support companies operate from
ASCO’s Peterhead facilities, including
ExxonMobil, Talisman, Marathon, Apache,
ADTI, Global Santa Fe, ENI, Aquatic, BP
and CNR.
ASCO adopts a flexible approach, tailoring services to the specific needs
of the client – so its activities can range
from provision of basic resources
through to a fully integrated logistics
service that includes material handling,
transport and shipment.
BERTHING: A total of 16 working
berths are available across ASCO North
Base and ASCO South Base, with water
depth ranging from 6 to 14 metres.
Heavy lift capacity of 250 tonnes is
available on the South Base, while up to
1,000 tonnes can be handled on both
the North and South breakwaters. Fuel
and water is available at all berths at the
South Base and at the North Base Jetty.
The North breakwater quayside can
accommodate vessels up to 250 metres
in length and up to 96,000 dwt;
FUEL: ASCO Fuel & Lubricants
division provides a range of services
both for land and marine customers,
including marine gas oil at both bases,
derv and kerosene at the North Base,
and lubricants at the South Base.
DRILLING PRODUCTS: A complete
range of dry bulk, cement and liquid
mud products are available at the South
Base – these are supplied at four berths,
all of which have fuel and water, so that
movement within the port is minimised.
STORAGE: ASCO has over 200,000
square feet of secure, covered storage
at Peterhead. Most of this is within
the supply bases at the port, with the
balance on a separate site at Upperton,
which is less than a mile away.
Half of the 60-acre Upperton is
developed as an external storage and
pipeyard facility, with the rest zoned for
industrial development and available for
future expansion.
ENVIRONMENTAL: ASCO
subsidiary Enviroco offers waste
management. These services can be
divided into three categories. Offshore
there is training, segregation of waste
offshore and compliance monitoring and
support. Onshore services include tank
cleaning, processing of cuttings, tanker
services, hazardous waste treatment,
disposal and product recovery. Transport
services include waste containment, bulk
removals and legal compliance.
RENEWABLE ENERGY: Peterhead
has already established itself as a vital
support system to the offshore oil and
gas sector; it is also perfectly located,
equipped and experienced to support
the renewable energy sector, and is
actively encouraging local wave, wind
and biofuel power generation projects.
The port has proved its expertise in
handling the import of wind turbines;
ASCO successfully handled seven wind
turbines shipped from Germany for a
nearby wind farm project.
CARBON CAPTURE: Peterhead
is getting ready for the construction of
the world’s first industrial-scale project
to generate electricity using hydrogen
manufactured from natural gas, to create
“decarbonised fuels” – this “carbon capture”
concept reduces carbon dioxide
emissions by about 90%. If this £500
million project goes ahead it will put
Peterhead firmly on the map and is
expected to attract many high-profile
visitors from around the world. The
construction phase will be a very busy
period for the town and port with up to
1,000 jobs created during construction.
The project is being promoted by a
joint venture involving BP, Scottish and
Southern Energy and others.

FISHING
PETERHEAD is
renowned and
accredited as the UK’s
largest whitefi sh port
and it is also in the top
league in European
terms.
Despite some tough years,
with the much-publicised
challenges of quota cuts and
the enforced decommissioning
of fi shing vessels, that reputation
remains as strong as ever. The
port has successfully diversifi ed
to make up for a lower volume
of whitefi sh, handling larger
volumes of pelagic fi sh and
langoustines (shellfi sh).
The result was a record
year in 2006, when the total
value of fresh fi sh handled
through Peterhead was the
highest ever, at over £100 million.
Half of this was pelagic species,
mainly herring and mackerel,
and the rest was whitefi sh,
including cod, haddock, coley
and monkfi sh, and also
shellfi sh.
As well as its leading position
in whitefi sh, Peterhead is now
the UK’s number one pelagic
fi sh port, overtaking Shetland.
Fish values handled at the
port continue to climb, and
with consumers ever more
aware of the value of fi sh
in their diet, there is strong
demand from buyers for good
quality fresh fi sh, which helps
to keep prices high. Landing
the fi sh is one thing, processing
it is a huge industry that needs
highly specialist staff and
facilities. Peterhead’s modern
chilled fi shmarket, fi sh
processing centres, cold
stores and freezing plants all
help to maintain top-quality
fi sh landings.
The sector is also supported by
a broad network onshore with
icemaking operations trawler
management, fi sh selling agents,
ship repair services and
engineering companies.
During the past 20 years
there has been signifi cant
investment in state-of-the-art
facilities and support services
to meet the needs of the fi shing
industry at Peterhead. This has
included providing more
deepwater quayside, building
a large, new temperature
controlled fi shmarket, and
investing in a Syncrolift with
covered ship repair facility.
A few years ago, £70 million
worth of whitefi sh was landed
every year at Peterhead. That
may have been knocked back
by extraneous circumstances
as the fi gures show, the
growth in the pelagic catch
has compensated and the
port continues to manage and
invest in this resource.
Ongoing investments in
processing facilities and
increasing capacity at the port,
THE FISHING INDUSTRYPeterheads fi shing industry consists of three basic
categories of species landed, - Demersal, Pelagic and Shellfi sh
The landings apportioned as follows (2006)Demersal - 40% Volume, £52,353,000 Value Pelagic - 57% Volume, £49,072,000 Value
Shellfi sh - 3% Volume, £6,301,000 Value
Demersal Landings, otherwise known as whitefi sh consist of:Haddock 39%, Cod 20% Whiting 10% Flatfi sh 7% Monk 7% Coley 6% All others 11%
Pelagic Landings, otherwise called oily fi sh consist of:Herring - 31% Volume, 17% Value Mackerel - 69%Volume, 83% Value
Shellfi sh Landings are almost all Nephrops
27
FISHING
HEAVY WEIGHT IN FISHING
combined with higher prices,
have resulted in a 560%
increase in the value of the
pelagic species handled through
Peterhead in just five years.
Four companies have large
pelagic fish processing and
freezing factories located
within the port – Lunar, Pelagic
Freezing (Scotland), Fresh
Catch and Alexander Buchan
Ltd (part of Denholm
Seafoods Ltd). A fifth company,
Croan, is situated just off the
quayside. Together they process
more pelagic fish than any
other port in the UK.
Peterhead port is open for
29
FISHING
business in all sectors 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, a critical advantage
when serving the fishing industry.
Up to 80 trawlers regularly land at
the port. Whitefish is landed by local
vessels from as far away as Grimsby,
Shetland, Denmark and the Faroes. In
the pelagic sector, ships land at
Peterhead from Shetland, Norway, the
Faroes, Iceland, Poland, Denmark,
Sweden and Ireland.
Fish is also consigned to Peterhead
for sale from Scrabster, Ullapool, Mallaig,
Lochinver and elsewhere in Scotland.
Skippers are eager to consign fish to
Peterhead to achieve top prices.
Peterhead Port Authority directly
operates the Merchants Quay Fish
Market. This 2,850 square metre modern
temperature-controlled facility was built
at a cost of £3.5 million in 2001. A year
earlier, the newly constructed Merchants
Quay was opened; this 200 metre quay
has 160 metres directly serving the
fish market. Together, these facilities
cost around £10 million – confirming
Peterhead’s position as the UK’s finest
state-of-the-art fish market.
Fish are auctioned in the market five
days a week, starting at 7.00 am – but
because the entire market facility is
refrigerated, fish can be landed at
any time.
Brain Food Whether it helps us to lose weight or
improves our brain power – press
reports on the benefits of eating oily
fish continue to push up demand.
Peterhead is well equipped to meet
that growth in the market, with a turnover
valued at nearly £50 million worth of
pelagic fish a year.
The North Sea and North Atlantic
are considered the best areas in the
world for catching high-quality herring
and mackerel. Demand is very high
from the UK market and also exports
to over 50 countries including Germany,
the Netherlands, Denmark, France,
Japan, China, Korea and Russia.
Fresh Catch is based in Peterhead
and operates from the UK’s largest
mainland integrated pelagic processing
facility. Their quayside location allows
fish to be pumped directly from the
vessel to the state of the art processing
area. Landings are processed quickly
and efficiently to achieve the freshest
product. The factory surpasses all quality
control standards thus ensuring the
finished product meets clients exacting
requirements. Customers are serviced
world wide through a combination of
bulk cargo exports by ship from
Peterhead and utilising the group fleet of
five temperature controlled trucks. Cold
storage capacity at the site is 17,000
tonnes, with plans to extend this by an
additional 8,000 tonnes during 2007.
Another major pelagic company
involved is Lunar, a family-owned
business established in the 1950s. Lunar
has its head office and main factory on
the quayside at East Quay, on the northern
side of the harbour. Most of the fish
landed go direct through this factory for
primary processing and freezing, either
whole or in fillets. Machine-cut fillets
are produced at the quayside facility, and
the company has a second factory just
outside the town for hand-cut fillets.
Lunar has total cold storage capacity
for 9,000 tonnes of fish – 6,000 tonnes
in its main cold store, and 1,500 tonnes
at each of the factory sites.
The entire operation is fully integrated,
offering a “one-stop-shop” from sea to
customer. The customers themselves
include secondary processors –buying
the fish for smoking, breading or other
“added value” – and also retailers,
buying the fish to sell fresh or frozen.
Lunar’s two pelagic fishing vessels,
Lunar Bow (built 2000) and Lunar
Pathway (built 2003) are each about
70 metres long and are crewed by ten
men each. They are high-volume,
high-powered vessels and typically
travel 240 miles from the port on an
average 24-hour fishing trip for herring
and mackerel. However, they go much
further – 200 to 300 miles into the
Atlantic from the west coast of Scotland
– for blue whiting.
ServicesFrom box washing facilities to fresh
water and ice, the full range of services
required by the fishing industry is
offered within the port.
Fuel is available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, via four refuelling points on
Albert Quay and by road tanker
alongside other berths.
Several electrical engineering
companies with marine experience are
located in or near the port and are
available around the clock, and there are
a number of net-making and repair firms
in Peterhead. Ships’ carpenters, painters,
electricians, plumbers and chandlery
are all based around the harbour as are
marine engineers and craneage.

SHIP REPAIR
31
SHIP REPAIR
ONE of Peterhead’s
major strengths is its range
of ship repair facilities, and in par-
ticular the ability to lift ships up to
2,000 tonnes in weight out of the
water for repair, painting or main-
tenance. The operation takes only
45 minutes and the vessel can
be positioned either outside or
in the covered repair hall.
The Syncrolift ship repair facility was
commissioned along with an adjacent
repair hall in 2001 to accommodate the
largest ships in the UK whitefish fleet.
The total cost of the development was
£6 million – the result has been a steady
flow not only of fishing vessels, but also
of tugs, ferries and offshore support
vessels which use the Syncrolift, the dry
dock and slipway.
Peterhead Port Authority owns and
operates all of the repair facilities, which
are leased out to engineering, fabrication
and painting companies – usually local
– on a contract-by-contract, ship by ship
basis.
The repair hall can accommodate
vessels up to 43 metres long, enabling
work to be carried out in a controlled
environment whatever the weather
conditions. This allows weather dependent
activity such as painting and welding
to proceed without delay and with
improved quality. The dry dock can
handle ships up to 57.9 metres long,
10.6 metres wide and five metres draft.
The slipway has four cradles and accepts
ships up to 27.4 metres keel length,
maximum beam of 7.2 metres, and
weight of 230 tonnes.
The ship repair facilities are used
by companies to carry out marine
engineering, fabrication, welding, machining
and carpentry work and serves the fishing,
oil-related, ferry and tug sectors.
One such company, Bill Mackie
Engineering Ltd, says it has been able to
attract additional work in the
non-fishing sectors thanks to the
facilities the port has to offer.
Ship painting company Davidsons is
another regular user of the ship repair
area, and it describes the Syncrolift as
“the best facility in Scotland”.
All aspects of vessel cleaning and
coating including tank cleaning,
shotblasting and painting, working on
fishing vessels, offshore support vessels,
ferries, tugs and other vessels can be
provided for by companies such as
Davidsons and Peter Bruce.
One company has also opened its
own shotblasting facilities outside the
harbour area to meet demand from the
fishing and oil companies.

MARINA & CRUISE
PETERHEAD is best known for
its fishing and offshore-related
activities – but as a trust port, the
Port Authority takes its responsi-
bilities to all
stakeholders very seriously.
Balancing the needs of all users is
paramount and the leisure industry’s
interests are a key part of this philosophy.
Peterhead Port Authority owns and
operates the Peterhead Bay Marina, on
the south side of the harbour. Renowned
as one of the best marinas in north-east
Scotland, it has a total of 150 berths.
Twenty of these are reserved for
visitors and of the remaining 130, about
110 have been rented by annual berth-
holders – so there is still some availability.
The pontoon berths accommodate
vessels up to 20 metres long and the
depth of water at the entrance to the
marina is 2.3 metres. However, vessels
up to 2.5 metres draft can lie afloat at
the deepest berths.
Fresh water and electricity is available
at most berths. Showers, toilets and
changing facilities are provided in the
marina’s service building and diesel and
gas are on sale. A chandlery, repair
services, restaurant and laundry facilities
are all nearby.
The marina is a popular choice for
visiting yachts and leisure craft, usually
recording in excess of 1,000 visitor
nights a year. As the most easterly point
in Scotland, Peterhead is ideally located
as a safe stopover point for vessels on
their way to and from Scandinavia. It
is also used by vessels heading for the
Caledonian Canal and the popular sailing
areas on Scotland’s west coast.
Not only does the marina provide an
important benefit to the town and the area
but it records a small profit every year.
CRUISING AHEAD Peterhead has
welcomed a good number of cruise
vessels to the port in recent years,
despite the strong competition
for this business.
The port is well placed for a number
of local attractions including distilleries,
gardens, museums, golf courses and
National Trust properties.
Cruise ships usually berth at the
North Breakwater and Tanker Jetty. In
the past few years, the port has handled
five or six calls each season, typically
from vessels carrying up to 1,000
passengers. Every effort is made to
ensure Peterhead is a memorable stop.
The berth is decorated with flags and
bunting, a pipe band plays on the quayside
and, for larger vessels, a complimentary
shuttle bus operates throughout the
day to the town centre. For passengers
wishing to organise their own trips, an
information desk can be set up onboard,
staffed by knowledgeable members of
the Peterhead Tourism Initiative.

SUPPORT SERVICES
AS the statutory har-
bour, pilotage and
conservancy
Authority, Peterhead
Port Authority is
responsible for ensuring
the safe and effi cient
operation of Peterhead
Harbour, Bay and outer
limits.
That means coordinating
the needs – and movements
– of the largest oil tankers or
jack-up rigs, offshore supply
vessel calls, trawlers that need
to land fi sh around the clock,
grain and fertiliser ships, all
making use of more than
3,500 metres of quayside. The
leisure craft making their way
to and from the marina are
also part of the equation.
For the port operations
team, navigational safety, security
and environmental issues are
the top priorities, but at the
same time commercial
shipping and offshore operators
require an effi cient, speedy
and reliable service.
Even before merging into
one body, the port authorities
of Peterhead had combined
Port Control operations and
worked together to produce
the Port of Peterhead Marine
Safety Plan according to the
requirements of the Port
Marine Safety Code.
The Port Authority is also
responsible for ensuring all
requirements are met for
compliance with the
International Ship and Port
Facility Security (ISPS) Code,
which came into effect in
July 2004.
Since the merger of the
two former port authorities,
a new Port Facility Security
Plan has been drawn up for
the whole of Peterhead Port
and approved by Transec, the
Department for Transport’s
SERVICEFOR A SAFE
EFFICIENTHARBOUR
security agency.
The ISPS plan is regularly revisited
and upgraded, and additional security
measures have been implemented
around the port.
Pilotage and Vessel Traffic Services (VTS)
are coordinated around the clock from one
Port Control Centre. There is close
cooperation and liaison with towage
operators, ships agents and stevedores.
PILOTAGE
A team of highly experienced and
trained pilots provides a 24-hour,
seven-days-a-week service, coordinated
from Port Control.
Pilotage is compulsory within the
port of Peterhead for all vessels over
3,500 gross tonnes (Peterhead Bay) or
200 tonnes (inner harbours) and in a
number of other specific cases including
all tankers carrying oil in bulk as cargo
and vessels carrying hazardous cargoes
or dangerous goods in quantities of
100 tonnes or more or one tonne of
explosives of IMO Class 1 category.
Other vessels may be required to
take on a pilot if the Harbour Master or
his deputies decide that this is necessary
for any reasons of safety. Vessels less
than 20 metres and fishing boats less
than 47.5 metres do not require a pilot,
and pilotage is not required where the
Master or Mate of a ship holds a Pilotage
Exemption Certificate (PEC) for that
ship. The Port Authority as statutory
harbour Authority is responsible for
the administration and issue of PECs as
examined by the Pilotage Superintendent
to qualified Masters and Mates.
The average duration of pilotage is
50 minutes. Pilots join and leave vessels
aboard the Port Authority’s pilot launch
Blue Toon, a 17.25 metre boat built in
the 1990s at the Jones Buckie Shipyard.
A detailed pilotage plan is drawn up
in advance in every individual case, with
pilots drawing on their knowledge of
the harbour, its approaches, tidal and
weather conditions as pertains to the
vessel’s requirements. The most
demanding pilotage jobs are the large
rigs that call for inspection, repair and
maintenance; a suitable weather window
must be found and more detailed planning
is required, partly because of the use of
tugs such jobs demand.
The largest jack-up rig to be brought
into the harbour so far has been the
Transocean Nordic.
Local knowledge is clearly vital and
ongoing refresher training of pilots is
carried out in-house and on the
simulator at Glasgow Nautical College
or the trained manned model ship
handling simulator at Warsash.
VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES All vessel movements in and out of the
harbour are monitored, coordinated and
recorded by Peterhead Port Authority’s
Vessel Traffic Services (VTS).
The Port Authority has responsibility
for VTS within the port limits, which
involves an area of about a two mile
radius of the port.
Two radars feed information into
the 24-hour Port Control Tower, where
there is an experienced VTS operator
on duty at all times. All of Peterhead’s
VTS operators are qualified to V-103
standard. All information gathered
by radar, VHF radio and telephone
is recorded. Information, advice and
directions are passed to vessels via VHF
Channel 14.
Vessels are required to establish
contact a minimum of one hour before
arrival, using the call sign ‘Peterhead
Harbours’ on VHF Channel 14, prior to
entering, leaving or manoeuvring within
the harbours.
A listening watch is maintained on
VHF Channels 14 and 16. VHF
SUPPORT SERVICES
36
37
SUPPORT SERVICES
Channel 9 is also designated as a port
user channel.
ASCO Operations and Agency may
be contacted on VHF Channel 11 using
the call sign ‘ASCO Base’. In cases of
emergency including pollution clean-up
operations, vessels engaged in the inci-
dent will be requested to communicate
on VHF Channel 10.
TOWAGEHarbour towage can be arranged
through shipping agents provided
sufficient notice is given.
WEATHER FORECASTSThe Meteorological Office provide a
twice daily forecast tailored to harbour
requirements that includes a four day
projection and 24 hour sea state
prediction. Weather information can be
obtained from the Vessel Traffic Service.
CONSERVANCY The Port Authority’s responsibilities
include monitoring, protecting and
ensuring the hydrographic regime within
the harbour is accurately established.
That means controlling any construction
and dredging projects to ensure that the
safety of navigation is not in question,
and also providing and maintaining
navigational aids and information.
Because the seabed within the
harbour is not susceptible to rapidly
changing levels, a hydrographic survey
rota is in place through which every part
of the harbour is surveyed at four year
intervals. However, ad hoc surveys are
also carried out for specific craft such
as oil rigs. The Port Authority owns its
own portable survey equipment which
is operated from a 17-foot survey vessel;
all processing of survey data from DGPS,
survey echo sounder and tidal gauge is
carried out in-house.
DREDGING Dredging operations within the port
are carried out by recognised dredging
contractors using their own plant and
machinery. Before any dredging takes
place, the Port Authority ensures that
the correct licences are in place, issues a
Notice to Mariners identifying details of
where and when the work is being done,
and ensures that all vessels using the port
are notified about the dredging work
in hand.
ANCHORAGE By arrangement with the Harbour Master.

PORT PLANSPeterhead Port Authority has the fol-
lowing plans in place:
a) Port marine safety plan
b) Emergency plan
c) Security plan
d) Oil pollution plan
e) Port waste management plan
PORT USERS’ GROUP
In accordance with the tenets of the
document ‘Modernising Trust Ports - A
Guide to Good Governance’, the Port
Authority set up a Port Users’ Group.
The objective of this group is to provide
an effective link with port users and
others with a direct interest in the
port’s operations. The group meets
twice a year.
OIL POLLUTION PREVENTION
Pollution of the harbour from any source
is strictly prohibited. The Harbour
Authority has duties and obligations
under the Prevention of Oil Pollution Act
1971 to take action against any polluters
and to initiate clean-up activities where
appropriate. Vessel masters are asked to
take the greatest care to ensure that no
pollution of any kind originates from their
vessel or operations.
Tankers discharging or loading bulk such
as fuel oil and bunker oil should be guided
by the advice contained in the International
Oil Tanker and Terminal Safety Guide
(IOTTSG) with particular regard to the
section on pollution and safety
precautions against fire and explosion.
CUSTOMS DOCUMENTATION VESSEL ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
Documents required for presentation to
H.M. Customs and Excise are as follows:
-On Arrival (“Report”)
- Form C13 “Masters Declaration”
in duplicate.
- Form C142 “Crews Declaration”
in duplicate.
- Cargo Declaration (Manifest)
- Cargo Release in duplicate.
If these “Report” documents have not
been collected from the vessel within
three hours of making fast alongside (24
hours of anchoring) by H.M. Customs
& Excise or the vessel’s agent, then one
copy of Forms C13 and C142 are to be
lodged in one of H.M. Customs & Excise’s
post boxes, keeping the other copy
together with the manifest and release
notes onboard. There is one post box on
the ASCO South Base, one on the Albert
Quay and one at Customs House.
On Departure (“Clearance”)
- Form C13 “Masters Declaration”
in duplicate.
- Cargo Declaration (Manifest) - normally
presented by the charterer or agent.
DANGEROUS SUBSTANCESVessels carrying dangerous substances
as defined by Regulation 3 of The
Dangerous Substances in Harbour Areas
Regulations 1987 must comply in every
respect with these regulations.
Peterhead Port Authority holds a licence
permitting explosives to be brought into,
carried and handled within Peterhead
Port. Nineteen berths are available to
handle up to 65,000kgs of explosives.
FACILITIES
PETERHEAD Port Authority
owns a portfolio of over 100
properties located mainly around
the northern side of the port.
This includes a mix of land and
premises suitable for fish process-
ing, workshops, storage and office
requirements.
The properties are located right in
the heart of the harbour and therefore
perfectly placed for businesses which
draw their trade from activity
in the port.
A number of fish processing firms
are located in purpose-built units at
Albert Street, Volum Street and Gerries
Yard. Many of these units have recently
been upgraded to meet the latest food
hygiene regulations. Typical units contain
a secure outside yard, fish processing
area, cold store and rooms fitted out for
office, canteen and store. Typical internal
sizes are 140 square metres although
some have been converted into double
sized premises.
Workshops are provided at various
locations including Seagate where
self-contained units of 100 square
metres provide a home for several local
businesses. Alexandra House offers
serviced office accommodation above
the Greenhill fishmarket. The suite
contains 30 offices, each around 20
square metres in size and tenants
include a cross section of organisations
working around the harbour area. Larger
offices are available at Farmers Lane.
Open storage is available for harbour-
related activity at both the north and
south sides of the port. Sites of up to
two acres area are available for temporary
storage or fabrication. Smaller quayside
fabrication projects can also be
accommodated at Princess Royal Jetty
and Albert Quay.
Greenhill fishmarket is seldom used
for fish auctions and provides space for
inside storage. Much of the market was
upgraded to food hygiene standards
and is insulated, making it suitable for
processing and temporary storage or
sorting of produce.

SCOTLANDS TOWN IN THE EAST
PETERHEAD is the largest
town in Aberdeenshire and
the most easterly town in Scotland.
It has a population of 19,000 and
while fishing and
offshore-related activities
dominate, it has a relatively
diverse economy, including food
processing, textiles and service
industries.
More than half of Peterhead’s working
population are employed in the town,
while nearly 10% commute regularly to
Aberdeen, about 30 miles south, and
nearly 22% work elsewhere in the Banff
and Buchan Council area.
The countryside surrounding
Peterhead offers wide open rolling fields
dotted with hamlets and villages full of
history and wildlife, large forests to walk
in and a dramatic and beautiful coastline.
Farming is an important part of the
economy, with fields full either of cattle
or sheep, or producing crops.
Peterhead has the world’s 18th
oldest golf club, with both 18-hole and
nine-hole courses, while Cruden Bay has
two golf courses, including a world-class
championship course which is consistently
rated in the top 100 worldwide.
The area has a network of paths and
cycleways along the Buchan and
Formartine Way, and a host of historic
buildings, ruins and sites to visit.
Peterhead was founded by the
Keith Earls Marischals in 1587 and was
developed as a planned settlement. Port
Henry, the town’s first harbour, was
constructed in 1593. The continued
development employed engineers such
as Sir John Corde, Thomas Telford and
Robert Stevenson.
Peterhead established itself as a
major whaling centre, then a thriving
herring port and now is one of Euope’s
leading whitefish and pelagic ports.
During the late nineteenth century
a prison was constructed to provide
convict labour to build the breakwaters
which form the Bay Harbour. This part
of the port was little used until oil was
discovered in the North Sea. The strategic
location led to the development of
purpose-built oil services bases.
Aberdeen is the nearest city, has a
population of 212,000 and is a prosperous,
modern and vibrant place. Known as
the Granite City and energy capital of
Europe, Aberdeen has an international
feel with the oil industry bringing people
from around the world. It hosts two of
the UK’s finest universities and offers a
wide choice of sporting, shopping and
recreational facilities.

COMMUNITY
THE town of
Peterhead went
through a series of
economic blows in the
late 1990s and early 2000s
which affected business
confidence and certainly
had an impact on the
community.
The downturn included the
closures of the Nestlé factory
and RAF Buchan base, white-
fish quota cuts and
decommissioning of the
whitefish fleet.
Now, however, the town
and surrounding area is looking
forward with renewed optimism,
as emerging business
opportunities arrive and others
are just over the horizon.
Capital spending in major
projects in the town and area
could reach over £800 million
in the next three
to four years.
Supermarket chain Asda
and DIY chain B&Q have both
opened stores and there has
been a significant increase in
house prices. Both
of Peterhead’s
traditional industries – fishing
and oil – have witnessed a
rebirth of confidence and
investment to underpin these

COMMUNITY
vital sectors of the local economy.
And then there are the projects
for the future, from the plans for the
world’s first carbon capture power
station, to the upgrade of facilities at St
Fergus Gas Terminal, which supplies
one-third of the UK’s gas.
Not so long ago the possibility of
closure hung over another important
employer in the town – Peterhead
prison. Now, however, plans are being
considered to build a completely
new prison.
A key factor in creating Peterhead’s
new optimism and a real willingness
to look at new opportunities has been
a three-year project entitled Building
Buchan New Beginnings (BBNB).
Set up by Aberdeenshire Council,
Scottish Enterprise Grampian and
Community Scotland with funding from
the European Regional Development
Fund, the remit for BBNB was to
overcome the economic challenges
faced by the North Aberdeenshire
coastal area.
The project was concluded in
October 2006 but the impact of the
initiatives the BBNB team put in place
will, of course continue to be felt.
The town continues to look outwards
for new opportunities and new ways to
diversify and build the economy.
Peterhead and the surrounding area
has much to offer – for oil companies,
there are the obvious factors such as
good logistics and proximity to the main
oil and gas fields, but there is also the
advantage of a highly trained workforce
and strong academic abilities in its
young people. The Peterhead area also
has very substantial amounts of land
zoned for industrial use – this land
availability and the facilities of the port
offer an unbeatable combination.
Of course, Peterhead will continue to
offer its expertise and innovation in
fishing and processing – but it is also
well-placed to create and build new
industrial opportunities. A vibrant,
diversified and sustainable economy is
the principal objective.
COMMUNITY LINKSAs a trust port, Peterhead Port
Authority has a duty to balance the
interests of all stakeholders, including
commercial shipping, other port users,
local authorities and the local
community.
As part of this, the Port Authority
sponsors a number of local events
including the main event in the annual
Peterhead Scottish Week. Other
sponsorships include underwriting the
annual North of Scotland Scottish Pipe
Band Championships and the Young
Engineers Club at the Peterhead
Academy.
The Port Authority has a close
working relationship with the local Sea
Cadets’ organisation, and provides
complimentary berthing at Peterhead
Bay Marina for regular training activities.
A Port Users’ Group provides an
excellent link between the Authority and
those with a direct interest in the port’s
operations. This group meets twice a
year to exchange views and make
recommendations.
