Constitution & Board

Peterhead Port Authority is a trust port which is an independent statutory body created by its own legislation. The organisation was founded on 1 January 2006 for holding, managing, maintaining and developing the Port of Peterhead. All profits are reinvested into the port.

The Peterhead Port Authority Harbour (Constitution) Revision Order 2005 established the following constitution: 

  • The Board consists of 11 members, one of whom is the Chief Executive 
  • Board members are appointed directly by the Authority through an openly advertised recruitment and interview programme. 
  • Candidates are assessed using criteria established to achieve and maintain a balance of Board membership in terms of skills, experience, local knowledge, specialties and demographic balance. However, the overriding principle is to maintain a Board that is fit for the purpose of running the port. 
  • A review panel consisting of at least the Convenor or Deputy Convenor of the Authority, a stakeholder representative and an independent member will interview short-listed candidates and make a recommendation for Board approval 
  • Board members are required to sign a declaration which includes a requirement to enter on a register any financial or other interest which could potentially give rise to a conflict of interest. The Register of Members' Interests is available for public inspection at the Authority's offices
