Forth Ports has unveiled proposals for the creation of Scotland’s largest renewable energy hub on a 175-acre site at the Port of Leith. The £40m private investment will see the creation of a bespoke, riverside marine berth capable of accommodating the world’s largest offshore wind installation vessels. Forth Ports chief executive Charles Hammond described the investment as a “pump-priming investment in logistics and marine infrastructure at the Port of Leith as we harness Scotland’s natural resources for future generations”. The investment also has the potential to play a significant part in the operator’s forthcoming Firth of Forth Green Port bid, he said.
