Due to Peterhead's location on the Northeast corner of Scotland, a vast experience of Oil and Gas industry support has been built over the past 30 years. In the early days Peterhead's large deepwater harbour of refuge was utilised by pipe-laying barges of Brown and Root, McDermott and even the mighty Thor, which at the time was the largest gross lift crane barge in the world. Since those early days a vibrant support industry evolved, from medical supplies to bespoke engineering processes.
