Quayside construction is complete at Aberdeen South Harbour and the expanded port now offers its customers and port users almost 8km of quayside, making it Scotland’s largest berthage port.
Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal will officially open South Harbour on Friday 22 September, marking the completion of the UK’s largest marine infrastructure project.
South Harbour provides an additional 1.5km of deepwater berths (up to a maximum of 15m depth) to the port estate and can accommodate ships up to 300m in length, a significant increase to the port’s previous capability of 165m. It also has extensive heavy-lift zones, and 125,000sqm of flexible laydown space with expansive project areas.
