Clarksons moves to larger Aberdeen harbour site to cut carbon footprint

Aberdeen-based Clarksons Port Services (CPS) has moved to a larger premises at Aberdeen Harbour’s Matthew’s Quay in order to reduce its carbon footprint.

The integrated shipping and offshore services provider will have 1,600 squared metres of outdoor storage and 2,000 squared metres of customs bonded warehouse.

The increased proximity to the vessels it services will reduce fleet travel across Aberdeen, cutting current CO2 emissions by 16%.

The ability to mobilise and operate cranes, plant and labour will allow for large-scale mobilisation and de-mobilisations to take place on the agency’s doorstep.

CPS has remained busy since 2020, which saw it complete large projects on behalf of North Sea engineering, procurement, construction and installation contractors, while continuing to keep the UK stocked by servicing bulk cargo carriers.

Innes Cameron, director at CPS said: “Faster vessel access will, of course, bring significant client benefits as our 24/7 turnkey solutions are provided via one central location.

“The opportunity to be based within Aberdeen Harbour, amalgamating our office, warehouse and yard facilities, very much reflects our commitment to the highest-possible level of client service, whilst providing us with the capacity for future expansion.”
