What is a Trust Port? As a Trust Port, we operate as an independent statutory body and are governed by stakeholders rather than shareholders. Our stakeholders are broad-ranging and include staff and customers, businesses throughout Cromarty Firth and the Highlands, local communities and local and national government. We have grown into a national strategic asset that drives economic growth, prosperity and opportunity. In recent years, over £50 million has been reinvested in infrastructure, including land capacity, deep-water berths and sheltered anchorages. https://lnkd.in/e34u4BZZ #PortOfCromartyFirth #HighlandTrustPort #TrustPort #CromartyFirth

Did you know? Subsea vessels and rigs often include environmental monitoring systems to ensure minimal impact on marine ecosystems. These systems can detect leaks, monitor water quality, and track marine life activity around the operations. The Port is in the ideal location for safely storing offshore energy structures, with allocated proven anchorage areas and good holding grounds. Find out more about our oil and gas services on our website. https://bit.ly/3HX3DSK #PortOfCromartyFirth #HighlandTrustPort #TrustPort #CromartyFirth #OilAndGas

Pleased to have welcomed another rig into the Port for maintenance – taking advantage of the deep water channel in the Cromarty Firth that has served the oil and gas industry so well over the years. The Firth's natural depth and sheltered waters make it an ideal location for servicing large offshore rigs, ensuring they remain in optimal condition to continue their crucial work in energy production. #PortOfCromartyFirth #HighlandTrustPort #TrustPort #CromartyFirth #OilAndGas #OilRig

We recently had a rather unique ship arrive into the port - the Sea Cloud Spirit 🛳️⚓ Just look at the masts - it's truly a sight to behold. It's not everyday we get to see such a stunning example of nautical craftsmanship up close. #PortOfCromartyFirth #HighlandTrustPort #TrustPort #CromartyFirth

Today, on World Drowning Prevention Day, Port of Cromarty Firth supports the National Water Safety Forum in highlighting the crucial importance of water safety and drowning prevention. If you see someone struggling in the water, it's crucial to act quickly and safely. Here are the steps you should take: CALL: phone 999 and ask for the right service TELL: tell the struggling person to float on their back THROW: throw something to them that floats to hold onto to help keep them afloat If you are not a trained rescuer, avoid entering the water yourself, as it can put both you and the person in danger. If possible, talk to the person from a safe distance to reassure them and guide them towards safety, if safe to do so. For more information on water safety and to get involved in our efforts, head to the National Water Safety Forum's website or get in touch on [email protected]. https://bit.ly/3xYvdOl https://bit.ly/3IxuVPR #PortOfCromartyFirth #HighlandTrustPort #TrustPort #CromartyFirth #ScottishHighlands #DrowningPrevention #DrowningPreventionDay #RespectTheWater
