New Ultra-Deep-Water Berth to be Built on Port of Nigg’s West Quay
Global Energy Group is pleased to announce that the Port of Nigg’s West Quay Deepwater Expansion project has been invited to progress onto Stage 2 of thr Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council’s (SOWEC) Strategic Investment Model (SIM).
The project builds upon the existing West Quay at Nigg and will create a new ultra-deep-water berth with a 160m quay at a water depth of 22m LAT, in addition to an expansive laydown and storage area spanning 46,860m² with a ground loading capacity of 50t/m².


Commenting on positive news, Iain Sinclair, Executive Director at Global Energy Group, said: “The vital enabling role that Scotland’s Ports and Harbours will play in supporting national net zero and energy security targets, specifically for offshore wind, is well documented. Being shortlisted to progress to the second stage of the SIM process is welcome confirmation of industry confidence in the Port of Nigg’s strategic role in the industrialisation of offshore wind.
“We look forward to working collaboratively with SOWEC’s investor stakeholders, and all of our Ports and Harbours partners, to deliver the critical enabling infrastructure required to accelerate the deployment of offshore wind in the UK.”
The proposed expansion will cement the Port of Nigg as the premier location for existing fixed-bottom offshore wind projects, while actively supporting the industrialisation of floating offshore wind.
