HARBOURS ACT 1964 (AS AMENDED)
THE PETERHEAD PORT AUTHORITY HARBOUR REVISION ORDER 2026

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT The Peterhead Port Authority Harbour Revision Order 2026 (“the Order”) was made by the Scottish Ministers on 1 April 2026 and came into force on 2 April 2026.

The Order confers powers on Peterhead Port Authority to construct and maintain works in the Port of Peterhead, including an extension and deepening of the existing berth pocket at Smith Quay, reclamation of land to the north west of Smith Quay, partial demolition of a berthing dolphin and construction of a jetty extension and mooring dolphin at Smith Quay. It also alters the harbour limits of the Port, provides for the possibility of differing terms of office for members of the Authority and repeals superseded, obsolete or otherwise unnecessary statutory provision affecting the Port.

Public notices were placed on 2 and 9 December 2025 inviting representations in accordance with the Act.

A copy of the Order, together with the deposited plans referred to therein may be inspected, free of charge, between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday at the offices of Peterhead Port Authority, Harbour Office, West Pier, Peterhead, AB42 1DW and between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday at the offices of the under mentioned Agent.

Any person who desires to question the making of the Order on the grounds that there was no power to make the Order or that a requirement of the Harbours Act 1964 was not complied with in relation to the Order may, within 6 weeks from the date specified at the foot of this notice, make an application for that purpose to the Court of Session in Edinburgh. Any person challenging the decision to make the Order is advised to seek legal advice before acting.
