About This Seaport
Sitting on the north-eastern tip of mainland Scotland in Caithness, Wick (GB WIC) is a specialised project-cargo and offshore-energy port rather than a container terminal. Its Commercial Quay, fitted with two heavy-lift pads in 2014, handles coal, lime, timber, road salt, steel pipe, wind-farm components and oil-related hardware. The port is the operations-and-maintenance base for the Beatrice offshore wind farm and is well placed for further developments off the Caithness coast. A new deep-water berth of roughly 9–13 m is planned to bring North Sea decommissioning work to the quay. No container-line or large-scale dangerous-goods services are confirmed, while a marina and a long-standing fishing trade share the harbour. For heavier project parcels or general cargo, nearby Scrabster and Invergordon on the Cromarty Firth are the practical options.
