Edda Fram - Port Of Aberdeen Scotland - 6th June 2022

            Aberdeen Harbour Board, the oldest company in the UK, has  rebranded as its transformational port expansion project takes shape.

From May 11 2022, the firm will be known as the Port of Aberdeen; a subtle change but one which adds “clarity” to the institution as it gears up for operations at its £400 million expansion project.

Chief executive Bob Sanguinetti said the new name, and new Aberdeen South Harbour, helps showcase a diversified port with energy transition at its heart.

“It more accurately defines what we do,” he said. “A port is a commercial entity, and we are very much a commercial entity. Particularly as we open the South Harbour, and diversify our activity further whilst supporting energy transition.

“A harbour is a safe haven for ships, which clearly we provide, but we do much more than that. We’re a business with commercial imperatives.”

This rebrand to Port of Aberdeen is also to avoid any confusion between the new South Harbour, existing North Harbour or “Aberdeen Harbour” more broadly.

The change will come into effect to coincide with the company’s annual general meeting on May 11, as well as the “soft start” of the first stages of the new harbour expansion.

Although the official operational date is October 31 – which will cover the majority of the project, not the entirety – the first vessels are due to be welcomed in the months ahead.

“The team is doing a fantastic job and we expect the first commercial vessels to be arriving in the summer,” Sanguinetti said.

“Opening a harbour is not the same as opening a motorway when you need to wait for the final metre to be in place before you can use it.

“You can start using elements of the harbour before all of it is ready. And we’re already in advanced discussions with a number of our customers with a view to seeing some activity in the harbour from the second half of the year.”
