Seabed testing has begun at the Port of Cromarty Firth (PoCF) as bosses prepare for a major expansion of the port’s capacity.
The proposed Phase 5 development at the Port would see a £150m investment to ensure the Firth becomes a key hub for manufacturing and assembly work for the offshore wind industry.
A jack-up barge has now arrived at Invergordon and will be used to test and sample areas earmarked for the development. Work will be carried out from this month and could continue into May if needed.
