The Peterhead Port Authority (PPA) is

now in its sixth year of amalgamation

(Peterhead Harbour Trustees and

Peterhead Bay Authority) and continues to

go from strength to strength. With fish

values rising to consecutive record levels

and approaching £150M this year,

Peterhead is firmly established as the

UK’s premier port for both demersal and

pelagic fishing. The recently completed

Smith Quay and Embankment has

heralded in a renewed era of confidence

to the port. This £33M project, completed

on time and budget, provides for the

pelagic fishing and burgeoning

commercial activity associated with

subsea, renewables and oil and gas

support. In addition to this large scale

marine civil works, the Board has

provided for the needs of the ‘day’

fishermen with the installation of a new

marina at Port Henry Harbour. As a Trust

Port, whose profits are all reinvested for

the benefit of our stakeholders, this

marina typifies the ‘dividend’ the Authority

delivers each year.

Currently PPA enjoys a high level of

environmental recognition as evidenced

by the Ecoports PERS award, one of only

two ports in Scotland. The Health & Safety

programme at the port mirrors ISO18001,

which in tandem with the environmental

awareness has helped secure British

Retail Consortium recognition for our

fishmarket; this being the first such award

in Europe. The foregoing accolades and

accomplishments represent the

culmination of the concerted efforts of a

Board, management and workforce

operating wholly in unison. This inimitable

‘force’ will be challenged in the future, in

part by day to day affairs but in particular

as it reflects the aspirations of their Master

Plan and Business Strategy recently

compiled to chart the Authority’s future

and build upon its success. It is a great

privilege to be part of the Authority’s

legacy and on behalf of the Convenor and

Board I invite you to join us on this

important journey.

PETERHEAD IS ONE OF THE

UK’S MOST VERSATILE PORTS,

providing exceptional all-weather,

deepwater berthing facilities and

serving a broad range of industries

including fishing, oil and gas,

renewables, subsea and leisure.

As well as the modern facilities

available at the port, users enjoy

congestion free access to its berths,

no city centre rush hour delays and

immediate access to trunk road

networks. Together with a really

positive approach to customer service,

we are providing clients with an

unrivalled port service in the North-east

of Scotland.

We are proud of our heritage as

the UK’s largest white fish and pelagic

(mackerel and herring) port and are

building on our reputation as a

traditional centre of excellence for both

fishing fleets by providing a full range

of modern quayside infrastructure and

services.

We are equally proud of the role

the port has played in the development

of North Sea oil and gas over the past

40 years, serving areas such as survey,

construction, offshore logistics, oil rig

IRM and subsea. Specialist facilities

have been developed to ensure the

prompt and efficient turnaround of

vessels, saving time and money for

clients.

The quays accommodate a full

range of other cargoes and

commodities including frozen fish,

agricultural products such as grain,

fertiliser and timber, as well as complex

fabrication projects, fuel, stone, salt,

chemicals and bulk handling. The port

welcome cruise ships, and hosts a

thriving leisure marina, with an

excellent reputation as being one of the

best and friendliest on the east coast.

Peterhead is mainland Scotland’s

most easterly port. Its proximity to the

major North Sea fishing grounds as

well as oil and gas fields has been a

critical advantage. 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 ships. The largest vessel

to be accommodated at the port to

date is the 127,553 dwt tanker Kitty

Knutsen.

The Port of Peterhead further

enhanced its facilities with the opening

of Smith Quay. Built to serve existing

markets and the growing renewable

energy and decommissioning sectors.

Smith Quay provides an easily

accessed 200-metre sheltered berth

with a 10-metre water depth and a

working area of 16,000 square metres -

including heavy-lift capability - and full

quayside servicing.

Our clients know they save time

and money with well-managed, efficient

port calls, and that’s why they come to

Peterhead. How can the Peterhead

Port Authority team help you optimise

your business? Contact us today to

find out.

THE PETERHEAD PORT

AUTHORITY board has

11 members, one of whom is Chief

Executive, John Wallace.

Board members are appointed

directly by the Authority through an

open and advertised recruitment

process. Candidates are assessed

using criteria established to achieve

and maintain a balance of board

membership in terms of skills,

experience, local knowledge,

specialities and demographic balance,

following the principles and guidelines

laid down by the Guide to Good

Governance for trust ports.

The Board is responsible for the

appointment of the Convenor and

Deputy Convenor, and usually meets

11 times a year. Convenor is

Mr William Mackie. Deputy Convenor

is Mrs Barbara Bruce.

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 supporting

the Young Engineers Club at Peterhead

Academy.

The Port Authority has a close

working relationship with the local

Sea Cadets’ organisation, and provides

complimentary berthing for two vessels

at Peterhead Bay Marina to support

their regular training activities. Many

other charities and local causes receive

financial and practical support.

A£31.5MILLION PROJECT TO

CONSTRUCT AN ALL WEATHER,

DEEPWATER BERTH AT PETERHEAD

has been completed on schedule,

with the Smith Quay now operational

and open for business.

Completion of the 18 month

project – which incorporates a 200

metre long berth, breakwater, dredging

and land reclamation works – has

heralded the start of an exciting

chapter in the future of Peterhead Port

Authority.

The facility will allow the Authority

to attract new business and target

previously untapped markets, through

significantly expanding the range of

projects which can be completed and

handled at the port.

Boasting an adjacent working

area of 16,000 square metres and

water depth of 10 metres, the berth

can be utilised by a range of industries,

including subsea, renewable energy

and the oil and gas decommissioning

sectors, as well as the very important

pelagic fishing sector.

The facility is ideal for the

subsea industry with its ability to

accommodate the new generation of

larger vessels now coming onstream.

The large adjacent working area

provides capacity to assemble or

manufacture components for offshore

wind and wave devices.

The berth will allow Peterhead

Port to reinforce its position as the

UK’s premier fishing port. The new

deepwater berths provide increased

capacity to service the growing

business associated with importing and

exporting pelagic fish caught by

Scottish and foreign vessels

The berth offers impressive heavy

lift capability. Lifts of up to 500 tonnes

can take place at the heavy lift pad.

The quay’s design also allow modules

of up to 2,500 tonnes to be skidded

ashore and therefore meets all of the

requirements for future involvement

in the offshore oil and gas

decommissioning market.

As a first in the north-east of

Scotland the berths have been fitted

with a high capacity electrical

connection point. This allows vessels to

plug in to the 350Kva supply and

switch off main engines, saving money

and reducing carbon dioxide emissions

whilst in port.

AHUGE ADVANTAGE OF

MERGING THE TWO FORMER

PORT AUTHORITIES was the ability

to plan ahead as a single unit.

A common strategy and Master Plan

for Peterhead is being developed to

build on the port’s current position

and plan for the future.

Peterhead 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 these strengths

Peterhead Port Authority can further

build its activities in these two key

sectors whilst continuing to explore

other market opportunities and plan for

expansion and diversification.

At present, the £8+ million

turnover of the Peterhead Port

Authority is split 58% fish, 35% oil

and the balance from other trades and

general property leases. Historically,

the south side of the harbour has been

focused on oil and offshore activities,

whilst the north side has been

primarily used for fishing, ship repair,

agricultural products and subsea

activities.

The economy of the town of

Peterhead is heavily dependent upon

the success of the port and that means

it is essential that plans move ahead to

stabilise the existing business, attract

in other types of income streams, and

build an integrated development

strategy for the port’s future direction.

Balancing the needs of all users is

of paramount importance to Peterhead

Port Authority as a Trust Port.

Consultation with stakeholders is

ongoing to see where further

investment is required. All stakeholders

– from port users to local authorities,

international oil producers to local

painting companies and community

bodies – will be considered when

planning the future development of the

Port of Peterhead.

Alongside this consultation a

detailed study was carried out into the

opportunities to attract new business to

the port. Peterhead is widely seen as a

potential base for offshore renewable

energy projects. A study was also

commissioned to look at offshore oil

and gas decommissioning and the role

Peterhead could play in response to

North Sea fields reaching the end of

their useful life.

There are further opportunities to

capitalise on the port’s leading position

in the fishing industry. Further strategic

investments will be considered to

improve the facilities. These include the

provision of a deep water berth for the

larger white fish boats at the end of

Albert Quay. Electronic selling of fish at

the auction has been considered by a

working group comprising all sectors

of the industry. Options to provide

additional deep water berths are under

constant scrutiny as the trend in all

marine sectors has been towards using

longer and deeper drafted vessels.

One consequence is that parts of the

inner harbour that were fully utilised by

fishing vessels have been freed up due

to draft restrictions. Options to

revitalise these areas are being

considered, including developing

facilities to support offshore

renewables.

PETERHEAD is accredited as the

UK’s largest whitefish and

pelagic 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 fishing vessels,

that reputation remains as strong as

ever.

The port has successfully

diversified to make up for a lower

volume of whitefish, by handling larger

volumes of pelagic fish and shellfish.

Together with higher prices for fish

landed at the port these factors

resulted in a record year in 2010, when

the total value of fresh fish handled

through Peterhead was the highest

ever, at almost £150 million. Half of this

was pelagic species, mainly herring

and mackerel, and the rest was

whitefish, including cod, haddock,

coley and monkfish, and also shellfish.

The value of fish handled at the port

has increased for each of the last

5 years, by a total of over 50%, and

with consumers ever more aware of the

benefits of fish in their diet, there is

strong demand from buyers for good

quality fresh fish.

During the past 20 years there has

been significant investment in state-of-

the-art facilities and support services to

meet the needs of the fishing industry

at Peterhead. This has included

providing more deepwater quayside,

building a large temperature controlled

fishmarket, and investing in state of the

art ship repair facilities.

Peterhead Port Authority directly

operates the Merchants Quay

Fishmarket which is a 2,850 square

metre modern temperature-controlled.

It is built on Merchants Quay; a

200 metre quay which has 160 metres

directly serving the fish market.

Fish are auctioned in the market

five days a week, starting at 7.00 am –

but since the entire market facility is

refrigerated, fish can be landed at any

time. The market holds up to 6,000

boxes and any excess landings can

either be accommodated at a second

sale or landed for sale at the Greenhill

Fishmarket. A study is ongoing into the

possibility of introducing electronic

selling of fish at the market.

In 2011, the Merchant Quay

Fishmarket became the first fish market

in Europe to achieve the BRC (British

Retail Consortium) Global Standard for

Storage accreditation which is regarded

as the international benchmark for the

handling of food produce. The BRC

standard identifies best practice in

areas of quality, hygiene and product

safety, ensuring compliance with food

safety legislation.

There have been significant

advances in recent years in improving

the quality of fish sold to the consumer.

Fishing boats have invested in new

equipment, procedures and practices

to keep fish in tip top condition up to

the point of landing. Processors have

done their bit with many already having

achieved a comparable standard.

Peterhead Port Authority can now

demonstrate that the fish market

completes the food safety chain

between a fish being caught and sold

on the supermarket shelf.

Landing the fish is one thing, but

processing it is also a huge industry

that needs highly specialist staff and

facilities. Peterhead’s modern chilled

fishmarket, fish processing centres,

cold stores and freezing plants all help

to maintain top-quality fish landings.

The sector is also supported by a

broad network onshore with ice making

operations, trawler management, fish

selling agents, ship repair services,

ships’ carpenters, painters, electricians

and engineering companies.

Four companies have invested in

large and modern pelagic fish

processing and freezing factories

located next to deepwater quayside

within the port – Denholm Seafoods,

Fresh Catch, Lunar and Caley

Fisheries. They attract landings from

UK and foreign vessels.

Peterhead port is open for

business in all sectors 24 hours a day,

seven days a week, a critical advantage

when servicing the fishing industry.

Up to 80 trawlers regularly land at

the port. Whitefish is landed by 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, Shetland,

Orkney and elsewhere in Scotland.

Skippers are eager to consign fish to

Peterhead to make top prices

achievable because of the buying

power concentrated in Peterhead.

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

throughput valued at over £65 million of

pelagic fish a year. Recent innovations

have included the landing of a new

range of pelagic species which are

being processed for the first time for

human consumption. Previously these

fish would have been used in the

production of fish meal. Such species

include Blue Whiting, Capelin, Sprats

and Horse Mackerel.

The North Sea and North Atlantic

are considered amongst the best areas

in the world for catching high-quality

herring and mackerel. Demand is very

high from the UK market however

frozen fish is also exported to over

50 countries including Germany, the

Netherlands, Denmark, France, Japan,

China, Korea and Russia.

Fresh Catch is based in

Peterhead. Their quayside location

allows fish to be pumped by under-

ground pipes 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 temperature controlled

trucks. Cold storage capacity at the

site is 17,000 tonnes, with plans to

extend this by an additional 8,000

tonnes.

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 their vessels land 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 three

pelagic fishing vessels, Lunar Bow

(built 2000), Lunar Pathway (built 2010),

and Kings Cross (built 2001) are each

about 70 metres long and are crewed

by ten men. 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

sometimes go much further – 200 to

300 miles into the Atlantic from the

west coast of Scotland – for blue

whiting.

The remaining two companies,

Caley & Denholm Seafoods employ

equally superior methods in processing

and landing. Together these facilities

make Peterhead the largest pelagic

processing base in the UK.

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 expertise 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.

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 fields of the Northern and

Central North Sea – and in response to

this favourable location, a major

logistical support operation has been

developed in 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 2010 Peterhead handled 2,200

calls by offshore support vessels, most

of them measuring 70 to 80 metres in

length, and responsible for over

1.2 million tonnes of cargo.

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.

Separately to the bases, Smith

Quay and Albert Quay are also

excellent facilities for accommodating

the large offshore and diving support

vessels as is the Tanker Jetty on

occasions for crew change and lay-by.

ASCO, the leading supplier of

logistics services to operators in the

North Sea, uses Peterhead as its main

logistics hub. The company continues

to invest in upgrading and improving its

facilities at the port in response to the

changing needs of customers. ASCO

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 logistics, fuels, lubricants,

chemical distribution and waste

management and environmental

services. Although it is now an

international operating company,

ASCO has always had its roots in

Scotland – it was originally founded in

Aberdeen, 40 years ago.

Today, its Peterhead base is a

well-established facility that has served

the Central and Northern North Sea

for more than four decades. ASCO

recently demonstrated its commitment

to the port with major investment in the

redevelopment of its main warehousing

complex at the South Base. Part of the

warehousing was upgraded and

other areas decommissioned to

provide more working space next to

the quay. Over 160 people are

employed by 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

Talisman, Apache, Marathon, ADTI,

ExxonMobil, Nexen, Senergy,

Aquatic and Subsea 7.

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.

PETERHEAD Port Authority Handbook www.peterheadport.co.ukSUPPORTING ROLE IN OIL

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 200 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 100,000 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

South Base. The company also has

15 acres of external storage and pipe

yards at Dales Industrial Estate and a

further 30 acres at Upperton which is

zoned for industrial development and

located next to the new Energetica

business park. These sites are only 1.5km

from the port with excellent road links.

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.

It has been predicted that over

two-thirds of future developments

in the North Sea will involve subsea

tie backs to either existing

infrastructure or floating production

systems. This allows smaller fields to

be developed profitably by reducing

capital expenditure. Tie backs also

extend the economic life of existing

infrastructure and help maximise

utilisation of resources.

The UK was a pioneer in subsea

technology. Skills have been learned

and honed in the rough and tough

marine conditions around the UK.

Expertise has been developed and the

UK is acknowledged as the world

leader in this area. Collaboration of UK

industry and academia is leading to

further innovation to support the

industry and solve challenges in the

North Sea and around the globe.

The centre of the UK subsea industry

is clustered around Aberdeen and from

the very beginning of North Sea

exploration more than 40 years ago,

Peterhead has played a leading role.

In the early days the port hosted

project teams which co-ordinated the

development, hook-up and

commissioning of some of the largest

discoveries including Forties. The port

hosted all manner of survey vessels,

construction ships, heavy lift barges,

drill ships, pipe laying and trenching

vessels and rigs. This association has

continued and the port has particularly

developed business from the subsea

vessels which are generally too large or

deep drafted to visit other ports in the

region.

Until recently, subsea activity at

Peterhead has been concentrated at

the North Breakwater (operated by

ASCO) and Albert Quay (operated by

PPA). The opening of Smith Quay

allows larger vessels and projects to be

handled and provides more capacity on

a year round basis. The quay can

accommodate the new generation of

larger subsea vessels up to 160m long

and 9m draft. There are no delays

waiting for high tide and the relatively

straightforward entrance means vessels

can be tied up within 45 minutes of

arriving off the port. The extensive site

at Smith Quay provides an opportunity

to store large or heavy items in a

secure environment on a short or

long-term basis. Where road transport

is required, there is immediate access

to the trunk road network without the

delays and uncertainty associated with

city centre congestion.

SUBSEA

PETERHEAD Port Authority Handbook www.peterheadport.co.ukSUBSEA

31

PETERHEAD WAS AT THE

FOREFRONT OF DEVELOPING

THE NORTH SEA OIL AND GAS

INDUSTRY. The same strengths that

led to this leading role will also

benefit the forthcoming

decommissioning industry –

strategic location, established

infrastructure and a determination to

provide excellent service and make

the most of the opportunities

available.

Decommissioning of North Sea

infrastructure has been anticipated for

most of the last decade. As fields

mature and output declines it spells the

inevitable end to many platforms,

pipelines, wellheads and associated

infrastructure. However, high oil and

gas prices and technical innovation

have allowed much of the existing

infrastructure to remain operational.

Subsea tie backs have also increased

utilisation and extended life and this is

likely to continue. However, the

extension of life is finite and a time

will soon come when much of the

infrastructure will require to be

decommissioned. Peterhead is ready to

service this multi billion pound industry.

Key to future involvement will be

having appropriate infrastructure and

skills to decommission assets in a safe,

clean and responsible manner.

Recycling and refurbishing as much as

possible and minimising the amount

going to landfill will also be key criteria.

Peterhead has a range of companies

which specialise in the core skills

required to complete this task from

specialist stevedoring to waste

handling, fabrication, refurbishment and

engineering companies. Many of these

have joined together to form Peterhead

Decommissioning Ltd who are actively

targeting opportunities to

decommission items at the port. The

group will have access to heavy lift

quayside at ASCO South Base and

Smith Quay and is in the final stages of

designing a purpose-built

decommissioning base at Smith Quay.

The initial phase is expected to extend

to 3,000 sq m and incorporate

specialised heavy lift capacity and

bunded area with specialised drainage

and waste handling capability. This

site could be extended by up to

50,000 sq m as necessary to meet the

demands of large scale projects.

Whilst the port may not be suitable

to accommodate single lifts of entire

platforms, other methods of

decommissioning such as module

deconstruction are ideally suited to the

port's capabilities.

RENEWABLE ENERGY IS THE

LARGEST BUSINESS

OPPORTUNITY FOR SCOTLAND for

several generations. It is estimated

that the country has around a 25% of

the European potential for offshore

wind, wave (35%) and tidal (50%)

generation capacity. The industry

could be worth £8 billion by 2020 and

ports will play a leading role in the

deployment of and operations and

maintenance of the many thousands

of devices that will be required to

meet the Government's green energy

commitments.

Peterhead is recognised in the

Scottish Government strategy

document 'National Renewables

Infrastructure Plan' as one of the best

locations in the country for basing a

business which is involved in offshore

renewables. This accreditation is

justified on the basis of location,

infrastructure, expertise and

opportunity.

Since the 1960s Peterhead has

been at the forefront of the UK energy

industry. It was one of the first ports to

be developed to service North Sea oil

and gas activity. The port played a

leading role in the search for oil. Many

oil fields were developed by project

teams working from the port and major

pieces of infrastructure were built,

shipped and commissioned from

Peterhead. One of Scotland's largest

power stations is also sited near the

port. Initially electricity was generated

from fuel oil delivered through the port

by massive oil tankers. Since then the

port has continued to serve the

offshore oil and gas industry, though its

role has evolved. Peterhead is now a

leading logistics centre for offshore

support and plays an important role in

the subsea sector. More recently a

business importing turbines for erection

on wind farms throughout north-east

Scotland has been established. This

success over the past 40 years has

been achieved through provision of

modern and capable infrastructure and

a proven record of providing the best

possible service. We are committed to

ensuring that our service to every port

client is delivered effectively, efficiently,

on time and on budget.

Looking to the future, Peterhead

port has plenty to offer the energy

industry as new opportunities develop.

Mindful that client requirements are

always changing, a £33 million

investment in additional quayside,

dredging and reclamation was

commissioned in 2008 and has just

been completed. Smith Quay provides

sheltered, deep water berthing for the

new generation of larger subsea

support and construction vessels as

well as other sectors. The project also

provides an adjacent working site

suitable for component manufacturing,

assembly, storage, quayside fabrication

or project mobilisation.

A second stage of development at

the site could create dedicated

berthing capacity and 60,000 square

metres of working space on reclaimed

ground. This has been the subject of

recent studies by Halcrow Group and

certain statutory consents for the

development have already been

secured. Other sites are also available

close to the port including the new

30 acres Energetica Business Park only

1.5miles away which is being

developed by Scottish Enterprise for

energy related business.

The inner Harbours at Peterhead

were traditionally used by the fishing

fleet, but many vessels have been

decommissioned. This leaves capacity

for establishing pontoon berthing and

adjacent quayside facilities for an

operating and maintenance base to

support offshore wind farms in the

region. The port is well placed midway

between approved offshore wind sites

in the Cromarty Firth and Firth of Forth.

Several other prospects just off

Peterhead have been identified as

potential sites for the fourth licensing

round by The Crown Estates.

Expertise and specialist input can

be sourced from an extensive supply

chain network which has built up

around the oil and gas industry, centred

in Aberdeen. There are many

experienced energy related contractors

either based in Peterhead or who work

regularly at the port. These include

ASCO who has had a pivotal presence

in the port from the very earliest days

of oil exploration in the North Sea, and

Score Europe, a leading turbine, valve

and subsea business.

Aberdeen University, Robert

Gordon University and Banff & Buchan

College have all developed specialised

research, development, education and

training products for the industry. The

planned European Deployment Centre

is to be built at Aberdeen and will offer

15 offshore turbine test sites and

extensive development expertise.

Falck Nutec operate a training base at

the port to support offshore industry

requirements and are looking to

develop this for renewables.

THE NORTH-EAST OF SCOTLAND

BOASTS EXTENSIVE AREAS OF

FERTILE SOIL which provides an

abundance of grains, oil seed rape,

potatoes and other crops. Of the

1.3 million acres of agricultural land

in Aberdeenshire, about a third is

used for growing crops. Whilst this is

only 9% of the Scottish total,

Aberdeenshire accounts for 27% of

cereal production. Some of this

harvest is destined for export

markets and Peterhead is an ideal

port for this trade. There are

extensive grain storage stores

located close by the port and

vehicles have ready access to the

quays without incurring delays

associated with city centre

congestion or long journeys on

country roads.

Depending on the size of vessel

and weather conditions, bulk cargoes

are normally handled at either Princess

Royal Jetty or Albert Quay. Both

sites have a grain sampling gantry,

portacabin and weighbridge to facilitate

the trade. Elevators are available at the

berths from experienced stevedores;

Euroline and William Whyte Cargo

Handlers.

Imports of fertilizer, either bagged

or in bulk, are also facilitated at these

quays or for smaller vessels in South

Harbour.

The local area benefited from

extensive tree planting in the 1970s

and 1980s. Aberdeenshire has an

estimated 150,000 hectares of forest

with Scots Pine representing a third of

this area. Many of these forests are

reaching maturity. Timber production

from the area is typically

750,000 tonnes per annum but is

expected to grow to above

1,000,000 tonnes over the next few

years.

The port handled several

shipments of logs and both quayside

and remote storage for consolidating

consignments prior to loading is

available. To date these have typically

been in consignments of 2,500 tonnes

for export to Scandinavia.

ONE OF PETERHEAD’S MAJOR

STRENGTHS IS ITS EXTENSIVE

RANGE OF SHIP REPAIR

FACILITIES AND EXPERIENCED

CONTRACTORS. Peterhead Port

Authority owns and operates all of

the repair facilities, which are made

available to engineering, fabrication

and painting companies on a

contract-by-contract, ship by ship

basis.

ShipliftThe state of the art Syncrolift ship

repair facility was commissioned along

with an adjacent repair hall in 2001 to

accommodate the largest ships in the

UK whitefish fleet. It attracts a steady

flow not only of fishing vessels but also

of tugs, ferries and offshore support

vessels. It can accommodate vessels

weighing up to 2,000 tonnes for

inspection, repair, maintenance or

survey. The lifting operation takes only

45 minutes and the vessel can be

positioned on either the outside repair

berth or in the adjacent repair hall.

The hall can accommodate

vessels up to 47 metres long and

25.2 metres high. There is good access

to the vessel at various heights. This

enables work to be carried out in a

controlled environment. Weather

dependent activity such as painting

and welding can proceed without delay

and to the highest quality standard,

thereby reducing the risks to all

involved associated with the vagaries

of the weather.

Both interior and exterior berths

provide ample flat working space

around the vessel to accommodate

plant and equipment in a safe manner.

The facilities are serviced with high

capacity power supplies and fresh

water.

SlipwayThe slipway has four cradles and

accepts ships up to 27.4 metres keel

length, maximum beam of 7.2 metres,

and weight of 360 tonnes.

Dry DockThe dry dock can handle ships up

to 57.9 metres long, 10.6 metres wide

and five metres draft. It is also used by

companies for testing various items of

underwater equipment.

Peterhead has a maritime

tradition stretching back over 300

years. This association with shipping

has encouraged a wide range of

support companies to set up business

in the town. The skilled tradesmen have

extensive knowledge and experience

working on vessels of all types and

sizes, as well as a network of business

contacts to source parts and other

specialists. This can greatly assist in

completing projects on time and to the

lowest possible cost. You will find them

helpful and appreciative of any

business opportunity.

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”.

PETERHEAD PORT AUTHORITY

OWNS AND OPERATES

PETERHEAD BAY MARINA, in the

south-west corner of the harbour.

Renowned as one of the best and

friendliest marinas in north-east

Scotland, it has a total of 150 berths.

Twenty of these are reserved for

visitors and the remaining are rented

out on an annual basis.

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 mainland 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.

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 to offer a

number of highly enjoyable visitor

experiences at local attractions

including gardens, lighthouses,

distilleries, golf courses and National

Trust properties. The port also hosts

speciality golf cruises playing at nearby

Cruden Bay. This trade is expected to

expand when Donald Trump opens his

new £1 billion golf resort 20 miles south

of Peterhead, which is being promoted

as the world’s best golfing resort.

Cruise ships usually berth at the

North Breakwater, but the new Smith

Quay provides an alternative location

within a short walk of the town centre.

This new quay also has ample space

for marshalling coaches allowing a fast

and efficient despatch of passengers to

their chosen excursion.

In the past few years, the port has

handled three to six calls each season,

typically from vessels carrying up to

1,000 passengers. Every effort is made

to ensure Peterhead is a desirable

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.

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

processing, 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 Bath

House.

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.

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.

ConservancyThe Port Authority’s

responsibilities include monitoring,

protecting and ensuring that the

hydrographic regime within the harbour

is accurately established. This requires

control of all construction and dredging

projects to ensure that the safety of

navigation is not in question, and also

providing and maintaining navigational

aids and information. A programme of

hydrographic surveys ensures every

part of the harbour is surveyed at

regular intervals. However, ad hoc

surveys are also carried out for specific

requirements. 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.

Oil Pollution PreventionPollution 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.

PETERHEAD Port 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.

As the statutory harbour, pilotage

and conservancy Authority, Peterhead

Port Authority is responsible for

ensuring the safe and efficient

operation of Peterhead Harbour, Bay

and outer limits. That includes

coordinating the needs – and

movements – of the largest oil tankers

or jack-up rigs, offshore supply vessel

calls, trawlers that need to land fish

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 top priorities,

but at the same time commercial

shipping and offshore operators require

an efficient, effective and reliable

service delivered in a professional

manner.

Pilotage and Vessel Traffic

Services (VTS) are coordinated around

the clock from the Port Control Centre.

There is close cooperation and liaison

with towage operators, ships agents

and stevedores.

Following the appointment of a

full time Health & Safety Officer, new

policies and procedures have also been

implemented throughout the port

regarding Health & Safety and

Environmental matters. The Port

Authority is responsible for ensuring

compliance with national and

international standards and policies

have been developed regarding safety,

security, emergency planning, pollution

and waste handling. In 2008 Peterhead

Port Authority was awarded the PERS

Environmental Award by Ecoports, one

of only two such accreditations in

Scotland.

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 this is considered

necessary for any reasons of safety.

Vessels less than 20 metres long 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 pilot boarding area is two

miles ESE of the South Breakwater

light. The average duration of each

pilotage act is only 50 minutes. Pilots

join and leave vessels aboard the Port

Authority’s 17 metre pilot launch Blue

Toon. In the event that pilot boarding is

considered unsafe outside the

breakwater, such as in poor weather

conditions, smaller vessels may be

permitted to embark a pilot inside the

breakwaters, with entry having been

made under advice from a pilot who

will be onboard the pilot boat. Large

vessels, oil rigs and where appropriate

barges under tow may only enter at

slack water periods, but may normally

leave at any state of the tide.

A detailed pilotage passage and

manoeuvring plan is drawn up in

advance and agreed with the vessel

Master. This is specific to each

individual case, with pilots drawing on

their knowledge of the harbour, its

approaches, tidal and weather

conditions as pertains to the vessel’s

requirements.

Local knowledge and professional

skills are both clearly vital and ongoing

refresher training of pilots is carried out

in-house, on a simulator and utilising

manned model ship handling.

Vessel Traffic ServicesAll 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 encompasses 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

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.

Port Users’ GroupIn 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 between port

users and others with a direct interest

in the port’s operations and the Board.

The group meets twice a year. A Port

Landings Committee also meets to

look specifically at matters relating to

the fishing industry and ensure its

smooth operation.

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. Strategic investment of

over £75 million in port infrastructure

has ensured the port continues to

provide modern facilities that meet

clients’ needs and expectations.

This has been possible because

Peterhead Port Authority is a trust

port. All profits generated from

operations are reinvested into the

port for the benefit of the Authority’s

stakeholders. New projects are

designed to ensure that the legacy of

opportunity provided to the current

generation is protected and

enhanced for future stakeholders.

RoadPeterhead 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 there is an extensive

duel carriageway and motorway

network enabling the rapid transfer of

road freight between Peterhead and

supply, distribution and manufacturing

centres throughout the UK.

AirAberdeen 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.

RailThe 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.

FOR GENERATIONS

ABERDEENSHIRE HAS BEEN

SYNONYMOUS WITH SOME OF THE

FINEST FOOD AND DRINK TO

GRACE THE NATION’S TABLE -

premier beef, fresh seafood and

superior malt whisky. The same

fertile land yielded a more durable

ingredient in sparkling granite which

was used for many fine buildings

throughout Europe and gave

Aberdeen the Granite City nickname.

The region hosts many natural

advantages - steeped in the past

but prepared for the future. The

outstanding natural beauty of

mountains, countryside and coastline

are complemented by a dynamic

business, educational and leisure

resource. Together these give Aberdeen

City and Shire one of the best qualities

of life anywhere in the country.

Peterhead is the largest town in

Aberdeenshire and the most easterly

town in mainland Scotland. It has a

population of 19,000 and while

fishing and offshore-related activities

dominate, it has a relatively diverse

economy.

More than half of Peterhead’s

working population are employed in

the town, while nearly 10% commute

regularly to Aberdeen, and nearly

22% work elsewhere in the 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. Donald Trump is

building what is promoted as the

‘worlds best golf resort’ at Menie,

20 miles south of Peterhead. 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.

New Beginnings Energetica is an ambitious

public-private partnership designed to

create the world's greatest

concentration of energy technology

companies, housing and leisure

facilities along a 30-mile coastal strip

between Peterhead and Aberdeen.

The aspiration is to position the

region as a global energy hub

focussing on a broad range of energy

technologies.

Energetica will be unique -

bringing together talented people and

providing them with a stimulating

environment in which to be creative.

Over the next 20 years a range of

commercial investment opportunities

will be brought forward. These will be

designed using sustainable techniques

and with a low carbon dependency.

Energetica Industry Park is

prominently located at the Southern

Gateway to Peterhead. The 30 acre site

is only 1.5 kilometres from the port and

has direct access to the A90. Serviced

development plots are available for

both industrial and service operators

involved in an energy related business.
