LATEST PROJECTS PROVIDING EXPANDED FACILITIES
AT ABERDEEN HARBOUR
Aberdeen Harbour ’s Albert Quay West is operational again following a £4.75 million upgrade as part of a continuing programme to provide improved facilities at the port.
The Harbour Board project on the Point Law Peninsula has created 212 metres of common-user berthing, dredged to –7.5 metres and capable of accommodating two medium-to-large vessels. It has brought to 20 the number of deep-water berths at the port.
The next phase of the redevelopment of the peninsula is already underway, to provide extensive back-up space complementing the reconstruction of the quay. The demolition of buildings will create 20,000 square metres of surfaced area to support quayside operations and is another example of measures being implemented by the Harbour Board to expand capacity for increasing activity.
