Expanding our current facilities at Hatston for growing industries
Orkney Logistics Base will be an expansion of our current quay at Hatston, able to provide berthing facilities to a range of sectors year-round.
Located north-west of Kirkwall and primarily used to host our world-renowned cruise activities, we will expand the existing quay to provide additional berth availability to support industries such as offshore wind, oil and gas, freight and aquaculture.
With additional space and quay length, Orkney Logistics Base will be able to support current operations and encourage growth across a number of other key sectors.
