Montrose Port Authority is leading the way for greener shipping in the UK as it partners with Plug in a 50/50 joint venture to become the first Scottish port to offer shore power to offshore energy vessels.

This partnership will see an initial investment of £1 million into the joint venture which will be named Plug Montrose Ltd. This first shore power facility will have the capacity to supply three ships at the same time and is expected to be in operation in 2023.
