Grangemouth Port
|
|
Grangemouth is the main port of Scotland. Each year approximately 9 million tonnes of cargo are
handled through the dock facilities. Of this, 1.5 million tonnes is dry cargo representing
incoming raw materials for Scottish Industry and outgoing finished products.
Stevedoring services are provided by the Company's highly experienced team of port operators. This
group, numbering approximately 80 persons, can provide cargo handling services 24 hours per day,
7 days a week.
Although Grangemouth handles a substantial volume of piped traffic it is internationally
known as Scotland's container port. Services connect Scotland with the Continent and
UK hub ports daily.
Ro-Ro cargo can readily be accepted. The dock level being constant permits vehicle
loading and discharging at any quay, however, a strengthened Ro-Ro ramp is available for
heavy loads which can be in excess of 600 tonnes.
