Deep-water Lerwick Harbour, with Dales Voe & Greenhead facilities, has over five decades of experience supporting the lifecycle of energy projects. Existing capabilities and potential future expansion maximise Lerwick’s strategic proximity to future offshore wind farms. The proposed Ultra-Deep-Water Quay positions Lerwick as a UK port option for tow-to-port operations.
