NOF Energy member Decom North Sea is organising a 'Decommissioning Learning Journey to Peterhead' on 15th August.  Peterhead has a long successful history of supplying services to the energy sector. For many years Peterhead Port Authority, ASCO and many other businesses in the local area have provided a leading logistics centre for offshore support and played a key role in providing services to the subsea sector. The area has built up a vast experience of servicing North Sea oil and gas activity.

The new Smith Quay at Peterhead Port can accommodate vessels up to 170 metres long and has a minimum water depth of 10 metres. Smith Quay has a working area of 16,000 square metres - including heavy-lift and module skidding capabilities - and full quayside servicing.

Peterhead is also home to Nuvia SITA NORM’s new, multi-million pound treatment facility, which cleans and recycles equipment from North Sea oil and gas operations affected by Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM). The facility is unique in the UK in that it has its own approved, on site disposal route.
