Montrose, Scotland, UK

The central location of Montrose with its excellent road and rail communication links with other major cities and its impressive storage facilities make it the ideal centre for international trade and distribution throughout Scotland and Northern England.

There are no tidal restrictions to any of the berths in Montrose which offers around1000 metres of riverside quay. The North Sea Oil and Gas industry which is now well established is an important trade in the port. This is fully under control of the Port Authority and consists of "One Stop" berths for offshore support vessels with open storage, office accommodation and over 10,000sq. metres of warehousing immediately adjacent to the berths.

The Port Authority is responsible for the development of the offshore supply base and has successfully combined both commercial and offshore operations, giving greater flexibility to all its customers.

The Authority provides or arranges through agents, most port services including round the clock pilotage, bunkering by road tanker, waste removal from ships and quays, craneage etc.
