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.

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.
