KEYFACT Energy
Global Energy Nigg has been granted a marine licence by the Scottish Ministers to construct the Eastern Inner Dock Quay at the Port of Nigg, with a total area of 16,000 m². The development will modify the existing rock revetment forming the east side of the inner dock to form a new heavy-duty quayside faced with a vertical retaining wall.
The new quay will serve as the primarily load out / export quay for the high voltage (HV) cable manufactured at the adjacent Sumitomo Electrics factory directly onto the cable installation vessels. It will also provide crucial additional capacity for inbound and outbound deliveries in support of the offshore wind sector, and other energy industry port users.
