Ports and harbours have always been a critical part of the UK economy. Not just as a means to transport goods, but also as an essential component of the holiday and fishing industries, and as a way to access leisure activities. Most recently the sector has also made a key contribution to the fast-growing wind industry – both importing onshore wind components and transporting offshore wind materials during the construction phase and for ongoing maintenance.
Our specialist team has a genuine connection and commitment to this world – lifelong in some cases – and a real understanding of how the industry works. To operate successfully, businesses often need a wide variety of legal skills – including property, regulatory, litigation and environmental law, among others. Because all are provided by our team, we can help our clients take advantage of opportunities and deal with the various challenges that the sector faces.
Those clients include Clydeport, Peel Ports, Ardersier Port, Port of Aberdeen, Tarbert Harbour Authority, Eyemouth Harbour Trust, and other key players in the industry. We have advised on some of the most high-profile and significant deals of recent years, including major redevelopments at Hunterston and Ardersier as well as offshore wind O+M bases at Peterhead, Montrose, Eyemouth and Buckie, and the development of the dedicated cruise ship terminal at Greenock.
