South
Base
The South Base was designed to facilitate the
prompt and efficient turn around of vessels involved in servicing
the logistical requirements of the offshore oil and gas industry.
Modern vessel handling methods allow loading, offloading and
bunkering to be carried out simultaneously, resulting in reduced
turnaround times. It is used extensively by platform support
and anchor handling vessels, oil tankers and bulk carriers
The Base acts as the centre of ASCO's Peterhead
operations and offers a total of 12 berths across the South
Base Quay, South Breakwater and Princess Royal Jetty. Within
the Base there is office accommodation, warehousing and approximately
4.5 hectares of open storage. Berth 8 incorporates a 500 tonne
heavy lift pad and is suitable for Ro-Ro use. All major chemical
contractors are represented at the Base for the supply of mud
and cement commodities.
A full range of material handling equipment
including mobile cranes from 36 to 500 tonnes capacity, forklifts
and transportation fleet is available at the South Base to meet
the complete servicing needs of vessels using the berths.
