About This Seaport

Fishing, offshore energy and project cargo are the three pillars that keep Peterhead working on Scotland's north-east coast, and in 2025 the port logged record fish landings worth just over £341 million. The town runs Europe's largest white-fish and pelagic port, and roughly half of port revenue comes from the fishing fleet, the rest from energy and traditional bulk cargo. In the northern North Sea, Peterhead has built a track record in decommissioning redundant oil and gas structures and in servicing offshore wind, including the floating Hywind array. Around 3 km of quaysides dredged to as much as 14 m handle supply ships, heavy-lift cargo and trawlers under the Peterhead Port Authority. There is no container terminal here; the business is fish, breakbulk and offshore support, with onward movement relying chiefly on the A90 trunk road toward Aberdeen and only limited rail. Shippers needing oil-and-gas supply or general cargo can turn to nearby Aberdeen, while containerised loads route through Grangemouth near Edinburgh.
