Decommissioning
End of life services for offshore facilities
Our well-placed location geographically brings benefits to many customers in the decommissioning sector as they are not only in a prime position to access the North Sea and further afield but are also in the heart of Montrose, with accessible transport links through road and railway.
We have our own designated decommissioning area where assets from offshore decommissioning projects can be cut and broken down before being distributed for cleaning and processing. Construction of the area was undetaken by Inverurie-based company Hunter Construction. We look forward to expanding our decommissioning capabilities further in future.

Shore power
We have installed shore power at our Port, the first Scottish port to provide it for customers working in the offshore energy sector.
The project is called Plug Montrose and is a 50/50 joint venture set up between Montrose Port Authority and Plug Shore Power Ltd where an electricity supply is given to vessels at berth, allowing them to switch off their engines and reduce emissions.

Montrose Port is large enough for any project we put forward and has great relationships with both its port community and the wider town. In our view this makes a great recipe for success and an excellent place to do business.
