Unlocking the Opportunities of the Fraserburgh Harbour Masterplan

  • Submitted by: Liam Kerr, North East Scotland, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 07 May 2025
  • Motion reference: S6M-17439

That the Parliament commends the Fraserburgh Harbour Masterplan; believes that it has the potential to create sustainable economic growth through diversifying the harbour business model to incorporate floating offshore wind, increased vessel repair and maintenance business, and by attracting more commercial cruise opportunities; recognises the opportunity for Fraserburgh’s supply chain to apply existing skills to the renewables sector; believes that suitable port and harbour facilities, which support the operations and maintenance phase of offshore wind will be essential; acknowledges the new long-term employment that the masterplan could provide, including for school leavers and graduates; believes that Fraserburgh’s foundational fishing industry will be safeguarded; understands that the project’s dry dock will allow Scotland to once again undertake work in repair and maintenance for pelagic fishing vessels, contributing to economic growth, and believes that the masterplan is a transformative development for Fraserburgh and the surrounding areas, and will help the Harbour to thrive for decades to come.
