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
