Vision unveiled for a 50,000-job Forth freeport

A bid for the Firth of Forth's green freeport has been submitted today by a public and private sector consortium led by Forth Ports.

It claims to have the potential to generate 50,000 new green jobs and act as a catalyst for new green technologies and renewable energy manufacturing, unlocking £6bn of private and public investment for Scotland.

A Forth Green Freeport will aim to encourage global companies to choose Scotland as a place to invest at scale through the economic incentives offered to businesses.
