Kishorn Port welcomes Dana Petroleum’s Western Isles FPSO

Kishorn Port Ltd is pleased to welcome Dana Petroleum Limited’s Western Isles FPSO following its relocation from Scapa Flow.

The arrival followed a detailed programme of marine preparations managed by Interocean marine services, including the installation of pre-laid mooring anchors ahead of the FPSO’s arrival. On arrival, Ferguson Transport & Shipping’s, Port and Marine services team worked alongside the anchor handling vessels to support the connection of the offshore mooring lines, followed by the shore-side mooring team receiving and tensioning the soft lines, securing the FPSO onto the hybrid quayside mooring.

The operation demonstrated the combined marine, port, and shore-side capability available at Kishorn Port, with teams working together to safely bring a major offshore asset into the port and secure it on its moorings.

With deep water, sheltered conditions, extensive laydown space, and an experienced port and marine team, Kishorn is well positioned to support large-scale offshore energy projects and complex marine operations.

We look forward to supporting Dana Petroleum and the Western Isles FPSO throughout its stay at Kishorn.
