Port of Nigg has an amazing history, so we’re delighted to share its story while also bringing it right up to date with the offshore wind projects that are taking place off our shores.
“From our oil and gas roots, we’re fully embracing the move to renewables and are excited to share that journey with the community around us. Visitors will get to speak to the people who actually work at the port, and gain first hand knowledge of what goes on every day.
“This is a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the port and find out what makes it tick. We’re expecting tickets to be snapped up quickly, so get in early and don’t miss out!”
