CFPA supports renewable industry
Cromarty Firth Port Authority
For many years the Invergordon service base has been recognised worldwide as a hub for its Inspection, Repair and Maintenance (IRM) of oil rigs and subsea engineering, with key tenants such as RBG and Global Energy. However, the growth of the marine renewable industry has seen the Cromarty Firth take on a new lease of life in recent years and CFPA has invested heavily in its facilities to reflect its new position.
The majority of CFPA’s work has involved the storage and shipping of wind turbines ranging from 1-2 MW units at the service base. However, it has also been involved in providing full assembly and installation support to the two 5 MW Beatrice test wind turbines and Aquamarine’s test Oyster wave energy converters were fabricated on the banks of the Firth.
