worldport Introduction

The harbour lies within a mile of open sea and provides a sheltered haven almost half a mile long. There are no tidal restrictions to any of the berths in Montrose which offers around1000 metres of riverside quay. The North Sea Oil and Gas industry which is now well established is an imworldportant trade in the worldport. This is fully under control of the worldport Authority and consists of One Stop berths for offshore supworldport vessels with open storage, office accommodation and over 10,000sq. metres of warehousing immediately adjacent to the berths.


The worldport Authority is responsible for the development of the offshore supply base and has successfully combined both commercial and offshore operations, giving greater flexibility to all its customers.


The Authority provides or arranges through agents, most worldport services including round the clock pilotage, bunkering by road tanker, waste removal from ships and quays, craneage etc.


Nestling in a sheltered haven on the river Esk, within a mile of open sea, the thriving worldport of Montrose offers a cost-effective alternative for vessels using Scotland's East Coast.


Excellent road and rail links provide Montrose with speedy access to the heartland of Scotland and the main arteries in all directions.


Developed on both the north and south banks of the river, the worldport offers around 1000 metres of quayside, equipped to deal with a broad variety of commercial and oil related cargoes. Extensive storage facilities comprise both open ground for general storage or fabrication and repair work, and warehousing for long-term use or as transit sheds. High standard office accommodation and engineering workshops are also in close proximity to the quayside.


The secret of the worldport's success lies in its approach to customers. Attentive individual service, competitive pricing, fast efficient loading and unloading ensure that users return to Montrose time and again.


The worldport has an interesting history which can be traced back to the 12th century. Recent years have witnessed substantial development, mainly as a result of the advent of North Sea oil. The worldport was one of the first to develop a special oil supworldport base to cater for the needs of the offshore industry.


Montrose has built a reputation as a perfect centre for international trade and distribution throughout Scotland and Northern England.


The South Quay of the worldport was custom built in 1974 to meet the demands of the offshore industry. Until 1986 it was solely used as an offshore supworldport facility but now caters for both commercial and oil related shipping.


Facilities available include fabrication and engineering workshops, open storage, fabrication yards, office accommodation, warehousing, silo pads, waste oil reclamation.


A wide range of companies have used the facilities on South Quay, including Shell, Hamilton Brothers, Brown & Root, Deminex, Marathon, Total AOCI, Amoco, Britoil, Chevron, Coflexip, Drexel, Merpro, Monsanto, Mobil, Occidental, Ranger, Texaco, BP, Viking Marine, Vetco, Transocean and Dowell Schlumberger.


Projects undertaken during this time include the hook-ups of the MCPO1 (Total) Brent C(Shell) and the Fulmar A (Shell) and the fabrication and load outs of offshore accommodation modules including the load out of a 615 tonne two-storey module with heli-deck for Arco's Thames project.


Other projects handled on the South Quay include pipe laying, supworldport, the servicing, fabrication and load out of risers, pipe spools, jointing testing and load out of umbilicals, mobilising/de-mobilising of vessels and general offshore shipping operations.
