Forth Ports Limited unveils ambitious proposals for the creation of Scotlandâs largest and best located renewable energy hub on a 175 acre site at the Port of Leith â supporting Scotlandâs economic recovery and energy transition plans and the achievement of Scotlandâs net zero carbon emissions targets.
This ÂĢ40m private investment will see the creation of a bespoke, riverside marine berth capable of accommodating the worldâs largest offshore wind installation vessels. The facility will feature a heavy lift capability of up to 100 tonnes per square metre (t/m2), backed up by 35 acres of adjacent land for logistics and marshalling. This will be supplemented by the upgrading of a 140 acre cargo handling site to accommodate lay down; assembly; supply chain and manufacturing opportunities. The total area is equivalent to around 100 full size football pitches.Â
