Transformational vision for Aberdeen Harbour – 2050
Our role
- We set out an ambitious and transformational vision for the future of Aberdeen Harbour, to continue to diversify its business and lead Scotland’s energy transition from oil and gas over the next 30 years to 2050 and beyond.
- We led the masterplanning process to create the vision with Aberdeen Harbour Board (AHB), and also prepared a submission to the Aberdeen Local Plan, including significant land release at south harbour.
- Provided co-ordinated Design and Planning leadership alongside management of the consultant team.
- We helped AHB to articulate their vision for the future of the harbour, led the engagement with the council and worked alongside Hatch to develop the economic case for the transformational vision.
Results
- The project creates the opportunity for an energy transition zone of national importance, which supports port-centric manufacturing and distribution; renewables; offshore technology; decommissioning and energy transition.
- The project will play a catalytic role in transforming the Regional economy and ensuring its long-term resilience.
- This is a once in a generation opportunity to establish a port-centric cluster of high value jobs and create an new Energy Transition Zone to reduce the dependency on oil and gas.
