KPL Win Sustainability in Decommissioning Award – Decom Awards 2026

We are delighted to share that we have won the prestigious “Sustainability in Decommissioning Award” at the recent Decom Mission Dinner and Award Ceremony held in Aberdeen on Thursday night.

The category celebrated the progress reached to date of the regeneration of Kishorn Port yard and dry dock to facilitate the decommissioning of oil and gas structures in a safe and environmentally friendly manner, whilst maximising material recycling potential. It is testament to the hard work of all team members involved, who have been a part of KPL, past and present. It is also very fitting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the yard back in 1976 by the then Prince Charles!

Steve Welham, Head of Safety & Compliance received the award on behalf of KPL and commented; “I was both humbled and honoured to accept the Sustainability in Decommissioning Award on behalf of the whole team at Kishorn Port. This award is a testament to our ongoing contributions to the circular economy whilst keeping sustainability across all port and dry dock operations to the fore and recognises many years of regeneration to position the Port to meet the needs of the energy transition.”

A great evening was had by all, and we congratulate the other finalists; Able UK and ASCO on their achievement.
