Port of Nigg
An ideal site for large-scale manufacturing, marshalling, fabrication, integration, assembly and maintenance operations.
The UK’s leading marshalling port for offshore wind with a proven record of managing over 3.5GW of assets, including three of Scotland’s largest offshore wind farms.
Proposals are being explored to establish a green hydrogen hub to decarbonise daily operations and energy-intensive processes, including an offshore wind component manufacturing facility.
- Unrivalled dry dock capability
Largest of its kind in Europe. - In-house services and facilities
Including on-site accommodation and client project offices. - Mobile and crawler cranes and SPMTs
Nearby Pitcalzean Farm will be a key location for further development – Associated British Ports plans to explore its potential as an offshore wind infrastructure hub, supporting both fixed-bottom and floating offshore wind projects.
Major investment by Sumitomo's Electric Industries
The Port of Nigg was chosen for its new £350 million subsea cable manufacturing facility, expected to be operational by 2026. It is backed by £24.5 million funding from the Scottish Government, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), and Scottish Enterprise.
