Oil Industry
Peterhead Bay Harbour provides a comprehensive range of
facilities to service the complete needs of the offshore oil
industry's activities. A total of seventeen berths across two
purpose built oil support bases, which are operated by ASCO,
ensure that the harbour has the capacity to handle the demands
of the offshore oil industry, twenty-four hours a day, every
day of the year. Over the years Peterhead has serviced over
75,000 oil related vessels, from a 96,000dwt tanker to drilling
rigs and small standby craft.
Other Trades
Peterhead Bay Harbour also provides facilities for handling
frozen fish and bulk cargoes such as grain, fertiliser and peat
and has more recently established itself as a port of call for
cruise vessels, bringing many thousands of passengers and crew
to the North-East of Scotland. Peterhead Bay Marina is recognised
as being one of the finest marinas on the East coast of Scotland.
The port is approved as a Border Inspection Post for the import
of frozen fish from outwith the EU and a steady trade has since
developed from fish processors in the local area and further
afield.
