Our Net Zero Ambitions

At Montrose Port, we are conscious of and accountable for the impact we have on our community and environment.

We are committed to doing our part to contribute towards the energy transition and Scotland’s ambitious Net Zero targets. We have been taking action now to improve our energy efficiency, significantly reduce our carbon footprint and safeguard the Port for future generations to come.

With our unrivalled location and direct line of access to North Sea Wind Farms, Montrose is leading the way with the energy transition and is fast becoming the go-to renewables hub in the region, particularly with its aim of becoming the greenest port in Scotland.

In 2022, we were selected the O&M base for Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm. Construction of the base begins in 2025.

What we have implemented:

Image

We are a trust port

All profits are reinvested back into upgrading the port infrastructure, allowing us to remain competitive, as well as supporting our local area.

Our new pilot boat

We invested £800,00 into our new pilot boat. South Esk is an Interceptor 48 model that was constructed for us by Safehaven Marine in Ireland in 2022. She is more fuel efficient, quieter for our neighbours and features state-of-the-art equipment. Watch her arrival here:

Shore power

Montrose Port Authority is proud to introduce our cutting-edge shore power service, Plug Montrose, revolutionising how vessels operate in port.
As the first port in Scotland to offer shore power to offshore energy supply vessels, we are leading the way for the Scottish ports sector in reducing emissions and promoting sustainable maritime practices.
