The first concrete “foundation” for Aberdeen Harbour’s £350m expansion has begun its journey to the site.
The 6,000 tonne caisson departed Cromarty Firth in Moray last night and is due to arrive at the South Harbour either tomorrow or Thursday, depending on the tide and weather.
Aberdeen Harbour Board described the moment as a “landmark” as it is the first of the 22 concrete units which will form the foundations of the new Castlegate and Dunnottar quays.
