Lerwick is one of the first UK ports to handle major offshore industry decommissioning projects. The port’s proximity to oil and gas activities in the northern North Sea and Atlantic, complemented by its deep-water capabilities, mean the harbour is ideally positioned to meet the needs of the industry in the recycling and disposal of large structures.

With two entrances, the sheltered, deep-water port is open to shipping in all weathers operating 24 hours a day, handling over 5,000 vessels per year. Lerwick’s natural attractions as an extensive, all-weather harbour are enhanced with modern infrastructure, much of which servicing the oil and gas industry, including decommissioning projects, to handle the latest construction/heavy lift and diving support vessels.

Dales Voe has been identified in a nation-wide feasibility study as the optimal location for the UK’s ultra deep-water decommissioning facility. It is an ideal location for an ultra-deep quay to allow Semi-Submersible Crane Vessels an alongside UK port solution for offshore operations and decommissioning.

Key advantages in using Lerwick Harbour include deep-water quays suitable for the largest offshore construction / supply vessels; reduced sailing times for SSCV and support vessels; reduced towage times; shorter sailing distances resulting in smaller weather windows required and a reduction in downtime offshore; zero port closures and facilities ideally suited to support offshore operations.

Lee Energy Systems is proud to be a part of the Global Energy Industry. Our hydraulic-based stimulation and completion tools and assemblies can ship anywhere around the world and operate under the harshest conditions. Lee Energy Systems offers several core tools: The Gator Perforator (explosive-free unlimited perforation tool); The Speed Squeeze (unlimited multi-zone isolation tool); and Mega Packer (A/B Annulus cement support barrier tool) – which can be configured in multiple abandonment, well intervention, stimulation, and completion applications. By eliminating contingencies otherwise required when operating with explosives, reducing run times, and reducing well consumables, our technologies reduce costs – operational and environmental. By focusing on safety, reliability, and efficiency, LEE ENERGY SYSTEMS designs custom solutions for the Energy Industry that Increase value and reduce operational risks and environmental impact.

Kishorn Port Limited (KPL) is a major deep-water port and dry dock facility on Scotland’s west coast, supporting the renewables, energy, and decommissioning sectors. Originally developed for construction of the Ninian Central Platform, the 45-hectare site has evolved into one of the UK’s most significant infrastructure assets for large-scale offshore projects.

Recent investment has delivered a 9-hectare expansion adjacent to the dry dock, increasing laydown space in this key operational area to approximately 17 hectares. The dry dock has also been extended and now measures 260m in length, up to 160m in width, with a 166m-wide entrance. Further growth plans include Phase 1b, delivering a new 150m quay with 12m water depth and capacity for vessels up to 300m, followed by Phase 2, which will provide a ~500m deep-water quay with depths of up to 20m to support next-generation offshore wind and decommissioning projects.

Key capabilities include:

• Extended dry dock measuring 260m in length, up to 160m in width, with a 166m-wide entrance
• Extensive laydown area for large-scale project operations
• Existing quayside infrastructure, with major deep-water expansion planned through Phases 1b and 2
• 6,000m² of warehousing and fabrication support space
• Extensive wet storage capacity
• Onsite quarry with concrete batching facilities and high-quality aggregates
• Heavy load-bearing infrastructure for large offshore assets
• Marine, port and agency services
• EU Ship Recycling and Waste Management Licence

Together, these capabilities position KPL as a strategic hub for offshore renewables, particularly floating offshore wind, as well as energy transition and decommissioning projects across Scotland and the wider UK.
