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. •
