The north east’s geography means that the transport of goods by sea is a major component in the transport system, with Peterhead and Aberdeen being the principal ports. Nestrans will work with the north east harbour authorities and main harbour users to realise new maritime related opportunities and address issues of surface access to the harbours.
Aberdeen Harbour Board has constructed a new Marine Operations Centre and Peterhead is increasingly a stopping point for international cruise ships.
The north east is also ideally placed, through its work with the North Sea Commission to benefit from European Commission projects building upon the Northern Maritime Corridor project, which aims to transfer goods from road to sea.
