Welcome

As a leading Scottish Port we are uniquely positioned to play a leading role in Scotland’s journey to a green economic recovery and are at the forefront of Opportunity Cromarty Firth a collaborative initiative made up of private, public and academic partners, exploring the opportunity to create a strategic renewable energy hub having successfully been awarded Green Freeport Status.

Achieving this ambition would unlock a sustainable pipeline of supply chain opportunities and bring high-value employment to the region. These opportunities are primarily linked to offshore renewables, including offshore wind, floating offshore wind and green hydrogen, with the Cromarty Firth at the heart of a host of future multi-billion pound offshore renewable energy projects.

Our port has grown into one of Scotland’s busiest cruise ports welcoming another record-breaking year, as it brings more cruise ships and seaborne tourists to the north than ever before.
