It was great to welcome students from Dundee and Angus College's Futures in Offshore Wind course alongside Vestas a few weeks ago.

The group toured our facilities and stepped aboard the ESVAGT Brint, Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm's service operations vessel, to experience what day-to-day life looks like for offshore wind technicians on the vessel.

These students are the very first cohort of the Futures in Offshore Winds course, accreditated by Vestas, and set to run from the Skills Academy at Customs House once restoration of the building is complete.

It was a pleasure to welcome The Duke of Edinburgh to our port earlier this week, recognising our progress in decarbonisation through our shore power facility, Plug Montrose.

During the visit, His Royal Highness saw the ongoing restoration of Customs House and plans for the future offshore wind Skills Academy, as well as touring Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm's operations and maintenance base to see first-hand how Scotland's largest operational offshore wind farm is run.

A big thank you again to everyone who was involved in the visit, especially the pupils of Ferryden Primary School for their fantastic flag waving!

What an eventful day we had at the port yesterday, welcoming The Duke of Edinburgh for his first official engagement in Angus since receiving the title.

Prince Edward got a first-hand look at our role in supporting offshore wind with a tour of Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm's operations and maintenance base, gaining insight into the project's day-to-day runnning.

We were also proud to highlight our shore power facility and share progress on the future Skills Academy, currently taking shape within the historic Customs House.

A lovely highlight was including pupils from neighbouring Ferryden Primary School, who gave the Duke the warmest of welcomes.

Our thanks go to Lord Lieutenant Patricia Sawers and her team as well as SSE, Pert Bruce Construction Ltd and Dundee and Angus College for their involvement.

Proud to see Customs House being restored to its former glory.

Here's a comparison to what the building looked like before the restoration began and how it looks now that it's wind and watertight.

You can find out more information on the restoration here: https://montroseport.co.uk/customs-house/

A big thanks to local contractor Pert Bruce Construction Ltd as well as other partners involved in the project: Adam & Gordon Architects, Hardies Chartered Surveyors and Ramsay & Chalmers.
