At the start of the year, our workboat ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น spent a few months on Scotlandโ€™s East Coast supporting ๐——๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ at Ardersier Port โ€” a major redevelopment project by ๐—›๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜‚๐˜€ transforming the 450-acre site into a hub for offshore wind and energy.

We were proud to assist the cutter suction dredger ๐—ฑโ€™๐—”๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป with deepening and widening the harbour and access channel. A project that required a very shallow draft workboat capable of handling anchors up to 4t.

With the dredging campaign now complete, ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น returned west via the Caledonian Canal and is back supporting more local projects this summer.

Our crew are working with the barge ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป, carrying out nearshore digging to prepare for the subsea cable installation later in the project.

Proud to be part of this international effort!
