Investment in renewables port
Peel Ports Clydeport has invested £3m in infrastructure to support growing demand for handling huge wind turbine components for the renewable energy sector at a key facility.
THE UK’s second largest port operator has developed a new egress road at its King George V (KGV) Dock in Glasgow, which is designed to improve the movement of such project cargo through the port.
The new road will provide a more efficient route for oversized cargo and reduce operational hold-ups, as the manoeuvring space for large pieces of cargo was previously limited, leaving operations exposed to delays.
The facility has processed components for over 1,200 wind turbines, representing more than 35 percent of total capacity installed in Scotland, since 2005.
