The continuing development of Lerwick Harbour’s support role as a leading hub for energy industries will be highlighted at international exhibitions.
For over six decades, the Shetland port’s extensive facilities and supply chain has serviced every stage of offshore oil & gas activity in the North Sea and Atlantic – surveying, exploration, development and production and, most recently, at the forefront of decommissioning. Today it is equally focused on enabling the transition to renewable energy.
The deep-water port’s capabilities and capacity will be promoted by Lerwick Port Authority on stand 3G30 at Offshore Europe, Aberdeen, from 2-5 September.
The sector, and renewables, will benefit from the Port Authority’s major dredging project, currently underway, to deepen access channels and berths, allowing larger vessels to use the harbour.
Plans for an Ultra-Deep-Water Quay at Dales Voe Base will give the UK a unique capability in servicing oil & gas, decommissioning and renewables.
The port’s infrastructure and supply chain are ideally placed to contribute to the transition to renewable energy, with involvement to date including support for onshore wind developments, including Shetland’s Viking windfarm.
The Authority is involved in a number of Shetland net zero initiatives, as well as in the port’s own operations.
It will participate at the Floating Offshore Wind conference and exhibition in Aberdeen from 12-13 November on the “Shetland – Islands of Opportunity” stand E62, a collaboration of Shetland based organisations and developers of future Shetland energy projects.
As a founder member of the Scottish Offshore Wind Ports Alliance, Lerwick Port Authority is helping to shape the future of offshore energy — ensuring Lerwick Harbour remains at the forefront of an evolving industry.
