Moray Port could be used as a key base for offshore renewables industry, reports Press and Journal.
Green Energy companies think that Buckie is appropriate to use potential of the 400 planned turbines.
Buckie harbour consists of four basins which can accommodate vessels up to 80m in length and 4.2m draught at M.L.W.S. tides. It is very much a working fishing port and a walk down by the harbour will be punctuated by the sights and sounds of repair work being done on numerous trawlers.
It is already used by vessels which work on Talisman’s wind farm.
