The investment programme in the redevelopment of Port of Dundee<\/a>, totalling \u00a340m, has reached a significant milestone with the start of the latest contract<\/h2>\n

The contract is for the construction of a new wharf alongside land upgrades to secure the port\u2019s future in offshore renewable energy<\/a> and North Sea Oil and Gas projects.<\/p>\n

The work, being delivered by Graham, consists of the construction of a new wharf and the preparation and upgrade of over 15 hectares of land for the emerging energy transition sector.<\/p>\n

This work will augment the development work already completed at the port during 2018\/2019.<\/p>\n

The port\u2019s existing Caledon East Warf<\/a> is being replaced with a new heavy-lift quayside that is capable of roll-on\/off operations as well as the conventional lift on\/off.<\/p>\n

Prince Charles Wharf is also undergoing an upgrade after almost 45 years\u2019 service.<\/p>\n

Once completed at the end of 2021, the total quayside available at this specific part of the port will be 485m. The quayside, combined with the capital dredging program underway in the River Tay will allow large semi-submersible vessels (HTV) or wind installation (WIV) to berth in the port.<\/p>\n

Promising benefits<\/h3>\n

Senior port manager, David Webster, said: \u201cThis significant investment in the Port of Dundee demonstrates our commitment to bring large-scale renewables and decommissioning projects to Scotland.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to work with Graham on this project in Dundee following their successful delivery of our new freight ferry terminal in Tilbury2<\/a> earlier this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leo Martin, managing director of Graham\u2019s civil engineering division, said: \u201cThis will be our second project working in collaboration with Forth Ports, following our completion of Tilbury2 on the Thames.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a fantastic scheme for Graham to be working on and another opportunity to demonstrate our wide-ranging marine construction and civils capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe offshore renewables construction facility at the Port of Dundee promises to bring significant benefits to both Dundee and indeed the whole of Scotland, both socially and economically, creating jobs and supporting the supply of low carbon electricity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dundee is currently the wind turbine hub for the construction of EDF Renewables<\/a>\u2019 and ESB\u2019s major offshore wind farm<\/a>, Neart na Gaoithe (NnG).<\/p>\n
