Other Information
The completion of the South Quay project in early 2015, which
involved re-facing the entire length of the front quayside and
developing a new West Finger quay (itself 180 metres in length),
plays a critical role in attracting major projects to the area
where customers benefit from over 900 metres of unrivalled
quayside access – longer than any facility in the area. With
12 metres of water and direct access to large laydown areas, the
Port of Nigg is the perfect facility to support oil and gas projects,
including the emerging renewables industry, benefitting also
from the onsite fabrication facilities.
In Nigg’s landmark fabrication shops, subsea and other specialist
steel fabrication projects are carried out for customers around
the world and the site is advantageously located to support the
construction, assembly and logistics of larger offshore wind,
wave and tidal projects.
