2023 will live long in the memory of Port of Aberdeen. The official opening of Aberdeen South Harbour marked the beginning of a new era in our nearly 900-year history, making us the UK’s oldest existing business with the country’s newest harbour. The team’s efforts were recognised by our peers and the wider industry, winning three prestigious awards, including the Northern Star ‘Business of the Year’ as well as prizes for sustainability and construction. Additionally, we reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 24% compared with the previous year, and were the only UK port to feature in three of the ten projects backed in the Department for Transport’s inaugural Zero Emissions Vessels & Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition.
