Port & Marine Team Work Alongside Fugro in Recent Project

Back in October, our port & marine service team at Kishorn Port worked alongside Fugro on one of their recent projects, delivering full support across port, marine, and quayside operations. The project involved receiving and number of lorry loads of sectional jack-up-barge pontoon sections and equipment, deploying a 100-tonne and a 650-tonne mobile crane, and assembling the ARAN 250 jack-up rig on our quayside at Area 7.

The client brought in the the components, which we offloaded with our own 100-tonne mobile crane into our laydown area before re-loading and transporting everything to the quayside where a 650-tonne crane, supplied by Ainscough Crane Hire mobile cranes, was used to build the ARAN 250 alongside Area 7 quayside. Eight Fugro personnel stayed on site throughout, based in our on-site welfare facilities.

We worked closely with the client to ensure that we provided the port and marine services to suit the projects needs. During the project, we also supported the launch of their crew transfer vessel and assisted their tug operations, including the multicat work boat C-Force, owned by Leask Marine Ltd.

Overall, it was an extremely successful job with a great team, strong collaboration, and a shared commitment to safety from start to finish.
Wishing Fugro all the best with their project and for entrusting the port and marine services of Ferguson Transport and Kishorn Port, to support their mobilisation.
