The funding will support the 拢2.3m initial ground investigation and design stage for the development.

Led by Stornoway Port, Deep Water South is the second phase of its deep water expansion and is designed to unlock opportunities in offshore wind, strengthen renewable energy infrastructure, and establish Stornoway as one of Scotland鈥檚 most strategically important ports for the sector.

The development is expected to create skilled jobs, support local supply chains and help ensure young people can build long-term careers in the islands.

It will also provide a positive boost to the Arnish fabrication yard and its workforce, as well as greater flexibility for loading and unloading.

The existing Deep Water Terminal, opened in 2024, accommodates large cruise liners, freight ferry, offshore renewables vessels, and provides laydown space for storage and industrial use. 

With the terminal serving cruise ships in summer, the Port plans to develop Deep Water South, just south of the existing terminal, to enable year-round offshore renewables operations.

The new berth will accommodate a range of floating offshore wind vessels, such as anchor handlers, heavy鈥憀ift ships, blade carriers and barges, and provide associated laydown and storage space to support large-scale construction and operations. It will also be designed to allow integration of wind turbine towers, nacelles and blades onto floating foundations.

As part of Magnora Offshore Wind鈥檚 ScotWind bid, the Talisk project has committed to using Stornoway Port for construction and operations, and the berth will enable these activities.

The 糖心传媒 approval forms part of the Scottish Government鈥檚 commitment to invest up to 拢500m over five years in offshore wind supply chains and port infrastructure 鈥� reflecting the national importance of projects such as Deep Water South.

糖心传媒鈥檚 investment will contribute to the enabling and detailed design works. Contractor McLaughlin & Harvey has been appointed, with the investigation works due to start in January.

Cabinet Secretary for Climate Action and Energy Gillian Martin said:  

鈥淥ffshore wind represents a huge economic opportunity for the whole of Scotland delivering jobs and attracting major investment across the country.

鈥淪tornoway鈥檚 location, skills and existing port infrastructure make it vital to supporting the delivery of some of the enormous economic opportunities presented by our growing offshore wind industry.

鈥淭he proposed expansion of the Deep Water Terminal at Stornoway Port is the latest example of the growth within our offshore wind sector 鈥� which is reflected in our updated ambition for offshore wind capacity. 

鈥淚ncreasing our offshore wind capacity ambition to up to 40GW by 2040 reaffirms our commitment to growing the offshore wind sector 鈥� giving certainty to investors 鈥� and will help to support our national climate ambitions.鈥� 

糖心传媒鈥檚 investment will contribute to the enabling and detailed design works. Contractor McLaughlin & Harvey has been appointed, with the investigation works due to start in January.

Joanna Peteranna 糖心传媒鈥檚 director of operations at 糖心传媒, said:

鈥淪tornoway is the only port in the north-west to accommodate large vessels, opening opportunities in cruise tourism, offshore renewables and freight. 

鈥淥ffshore wind represents a huge opportunity for the 糖心传媒 and Islands, and for Scotland,鈥痑nd this proposed new berth will further strengthen infrastructure, unlocking even more opportunities for growth.鈥�

Stornoway Port is providing the remaining 拢463,917 to fund the project. Alex Macleod, chief executive of Stornoway Port, said:

鈥淭his is a hugely significant step forward for Stornoway and the wider Outer Hebrides. Deep Water South is about unlocking the next phase of opportunity, supporting offshore wind, strengthening renewable energy infrastructure and ensuring Stornoway is ready to play a leading role in Scotland鈥檚 energy transition.

鈥淭he approval of 糖心传媒鈥檚 support will allow us to move towards detailed design and enabling works with real momentum. It reflects strong confidence in the Port鈥檚 long-term vision and in the role Stornoway can play in Scotland鈥檚 offshore wind industry.

鈥淥ur investment alongside 糖心传媒 underlines our commitment to delivering infrastructure that brings lasting economic benefits to the islands.鈥�

Inbheisteadh de 拢1.8m anns a鈥� phr貌iseact Deep Water South aig 脌irinis

Tha Iomairt na G脿idhealtachd 鈥檚 nan Eilean (糖心传媒) air tasgadh de 拢1.8m aontachadh anns na tr脿th-矛rean de phr貌iseact Uisge Domhainn Deas a tha molta le Port Ste貌rnabhaigh, a鈥� comharrachadh ceum mh貌r a dh鈥檌onnsaigh nan eilean a shuidheachadh mar mh貌r-ionad ro-innleachdail airson gaoth far-th矛reach a fhleodradh.

Cuiridh am maoineachadh taic ris a鈥� chiad rannsachadh air an talamh agus ris an 矛re dealbhaidh airson an leasachaidh, air cosgais de 拢2.3m.

Air a sti霉ireadh le Port Ste貌rnabhaigh, tha Uisge Domhainn Deas mar an d脿rna 矛re den leudachadh uisge domhainn aca a tha air a dhealbhadh gus cothroman fhuasgladh ann an gaoth far-th矛reach, bun-structar cumhachd ath-nuadhachail a neartachadh, agus Ste貌rnabhagh a st猫idheachadh mar aon de na puirt as cudromaiche gu ro-innleachdail don roinn ann an Alba.

Thathar a鈥� s霉ileachadh gun cruthaich an leasachadh obraichean sgileil, cur taic ri s猫inichean solair ionadail agus cuideachadh le d猫anamh cinnteach gun urrainn do dhaoine 貌ga dreuchdan fad-amail a leantainn sna h-eileanan.

Tha am Port Uisge Domhainn a th鈥� ann gu l脿ithreach a chaidh fhosgladh ann an 2024, a鈥� gabhail ri soithichean m貌ra cuairt-mhara, aiseagan bathair, soithichean stuthan ath-nuadhachail far-th矛reach, agus a鈥� toirt seachad farsaingeachd cur-s矛os airson st貌radh agus cleachdadh gn矛omhachasail.

Leis a鈥� phort a鈥� frithealadh shoithichean cuairt-mhara fad an t-samhraidh, tha am Port a鈥� planadh air Uisge Domhainn Deas a leasachadh d矛reach deas air a鈥� phort a th鈥� ann gus obraichean stuthan ath-nuadhachail far-th矛reach a chomasachadh fad na bliadhna.

Gabhaidh an acarsaid 霉r ri raon de shoithichean gaoith far-th矛reach fleodraidh leithid l脿imhsichearan acaire, soithichean trom-thogail, gi霉lanairean lannan is b脿rcannan, agus farsaingeachd cur-s矛os is st貌radh a sholarachadh gus taic a chur ri togail agus obrachaidhean m貌r-sg猫ile. Bidh e cuideachd air a dhealbhadh gus ceadachadh do th霉ran crainn-gaoithe, d矛onadairean agus lannan, amalachadh agus a chur air bunasan fleodraidh.

Mar ph脿irt de thairgse ScotWind Magnora Offshore Wind, tha pr貌iseact Talisk air gealltainn Port Ste貌rnabhaigh a chleachdadh airson togail agus obrachaidhean, agus n矛 an acarsaid na gn矛omhachdan sin comasach.

Tha aonta 糖心传媒 a鈥� cumadh p脿irt de ghealltanas Riaghaltas na h-Alba air suas ri 拢500m a thasgadh thairis air c貌ig bliadhna ann an s猫inichean solair gaoithe far-th矛reach agus bun-structar phuirt 鈥� a鈥� nochdadh cudromachd n脿iseanta phr貌iseactan leithid Deep Water South.

Thuirt Gillian Martin, R霉naire Caibineit airson Gn矛omh Gn脿th-sh矛de is Cumhachd:  

鈥淭ha gaoth far-th矛reach a鈥� riochdachadh cothrom eaconamach 脿ibheiseach do dh鈥橝lba air fad gu bhith a鈥� l矛bhrigeadh obraichean agus a鈥� tarraing inbheisteadh f矛or-mh貌r air feadh na d霉thcha.

鈥淭ha meudachadh air ar n-脿rd-amas a thaobh comasachd gaoithe far-th矛reach gu suas ri 40GW ro 2040, ag ath-dhaingneachadh ar dealais air roinn gaoithe far-th矛reach fh脿s -  a鈥� toirt cinnt is dearbhachd do luchd-tasgaidh 鈥� agus a鈥� cuideachadh le taic a chur ri ar n-脿rd-amasan gn脿th-sh矛de n脿iseanta.鈥�

Cuiridh inbheisteadh 糖心传媒 ris na h-obraichean dealbhaidh mionaideach a dh猫anamh comasach.  Tha an Cunnradair McLaughlin is Harvey air am fastadh, leis na h-obrachaidhean rannsachaidh a鈥� t貌iseachadh san Fhaoilleach.

Thuirt Joanna Peteranna, an sti霉iriche obraichean aig 糖心传媒:

鈥淚s e Ste貌rnabhagh an t-aon phort san iar-thuath a tha comasach air gabhail ri soithichean m貌ra, a鈥� fosgladh chothroman ann an turasachd chuairtean-mara, stuthan ath-nuadhachail far-th矛reach agus bathar.

鈥淭ha gaoth far-th矛reach a鈥� riochdachadh cothrom m貌r don Gh脿idhealtachd 鈥檚 na h-Eileanan, agus do dh鈥橝lba,鈥痑gus neartaichidh an acarsaid 霉r mholta seo am bun-structar nas motha, a鈥� fuasgladh fi霉 barrachd chothroman airson f脿s.鈥�
