MEMBER NEWS: Property and land development opportunities released by “ambitious” Fraserburgh Harbour

Currently in the throes of developing a major infrastructure masterplan, Fraserburgh Harbour is promoting two distinct commercial property opportunities for lease.

The tenancy of an existing 710m2 industrial facility and a quayside development space of 2863m2 are both based within the busy fishing port which also serves the offshore renewable, vessel repair & maintenance and commercial sectors.

The Harbour provides all essential services, including transport, fuel, sonar, engineering and navigation via an extensive, on-site local supply chain and is also the home of the Moray East Offshore Windfarm Operations & Maintenance Base.

Pamela Neri, Harbour Development Manager comments: “Our knowledge and experience within the Harbour, coupled with our local supply chain and 24/7 operations makes us a valuable partner and location for any maritime industry seeking a home on the north-east coast of Aberdeenshire.

“These are exciting times for Fraserburgh Harbour and the potential that comes with our location is huge, given that we are poised to undertake our most ambitious development project yet. The masterplan project will deliver two new breakwaters, a new -10m chart datum deepwater basin, over 5 hectares of multi-purpose quayside space, and an additional dry dock for vessels up to 100 m in length, as well as improving access to the existing Balaclava and Faithlie Harbour basins.”

Balaclava Land Development

Located at the Inner Balaclava Quay in Fraserburgh Harbour, this development site is adjacent to Shore Street and accessible via Bath Street.

Extending to 2863m2, it offers the opportunity for industrial seafood processing subject to the necessary clearing, development, and consents. Also suitable for development by offshore wind energy operators, this site is close to the Harbour dry dock and benefits from permitted development rights and is available for long term lease only.

As a trust port, Fraserburgh is particularly interested in proposals which can outline the revenue benefits to the Harbour, as well as the long-term economic impact the proposal will deliver for the community and wider local economy.

Harbour Road Industrial Property

Situated within Harbour grounds nearby its busy ship lift facility, this 710m2 industrial building currently offers workshop and office close to several processing and engineering companies.

For lease at £30,000 per annum and with immediate access available, the property can also be viewed as a development opportunity.

Viewing arrangements and notes of interest for either the Balaclava Quayside land development opportunity or Harbour Road property can be made via [email protected]

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
