Scotia Fish ReserchVessel and Oil Support Ships docked at Aberdeen Harbour, Grampian Region. Scotland. UK. SCO 7790.
With around £150 million invested in by the Harbour Board in recent decades, and a five-year budget of around £36 million to 2009 for further development and maintenance, the evolution of the port is ongoing to meet the changing requirements of existing users and new activity. It is a long-term, proactive strategy, delivering the capacity for expansion and diversification. Significant developments of recent years have included the multi-purpose Matthews Quay, which includes the port's third roll-on/roll-off terminal, and the creation of a new service base at Albert Quay for BP Exploration - the largest single oilfield operator to move into the port since the early day of the industry in the 1960s. The reconstruction of the Albert Quay West provides two additional deep-water berths from 2006, bringing the total to 19, with a new, state-of-the-art Marine Operations Centre in use in the same year.
