Forth Ports plc has announced a 2-year partnership with Collett & Sons Ltd to serve the wind energy industry
Under the deal, Collett will operate a 3-acre heavy lift facility at the port of Grangemouth. This will act as Collett’s Scottish headquarters and serve as a central hub in Scotland for importing wind turbine components.
The new Grangemouth depot will feature a quay with a 110t gantry crane, other heavy duty handling equipment, and should be fully operational by January 2014.
Collett & Sons Ltd is a leading UK provider of heavy transport, shipping and project management for delivery of wind turbines. The new depot at Grangemouth will complement its headquarters in Halifax, West Yorkshire, and its heavy lift and port facility in Goole, which has handled over 300 wind turbines since it opened in 2008.
Collett’s Regional Manager, Gerry Carroll, commented: “The new depot in Scotland shows our commitment to the area, and shows its healthy economic prospects. We’ll be able to offer a superb service not only in Scotland, but also the borders and the north of England from this central location.”
