In the last seven years, the Port’s investment has totalled more than £50 million in infrastructure. This includes land capacity, deep-water berths and sheltered anchorages geared towards key commercial industries including offshore renewables, oil and gas and cruise.

The Port strives to achieve all three pillars of sustainability: Economic, Social and Environmental. This will secure its future and ensure we hand its assets on in the same or better condition for succeeding generations.

The Port’s stakeholders are varied and numerous. Some are bound up in their operation, e.g. users or employees. Others are impacted by Port activities, such as the local community and regional economies. The UK, Scottish and local governments also take an interest, along with local and regional businesses and regulatory authorities.

There are nine communities bordering the Cromarty Firth, and they are at the heart of everything we do: Nigg & Shandwick, Kilmuir Easter & Logie Easter, Saltburn & Westwood, Invergordon, Alness, Kiltearn, Ferintosh, Resolis, and Cromarty. They are one of our most important stakeholders and communicating and interacting with them is vital for our success.

We organise quarterly joint meetings that representatives from each community council are able to attend. The meetings provide updates on all our activities and provides the opportunity to engage with local communities about our plans.

As a Trust Port, we aim to be a national strategic asset that drives massive economic growth, prosperity and opportunity to the Cromarty Firth, the Highlands and Scotland, offering a bright future for generations to come.
