Tanker Jetty:
The Tanker Jetty was originally designed to
accommodate oil tankers of up to 50,000 tonnes
deadweight, delivering fuel oil to nearby Peterhead
Power Station. The berth can accommodate vessels up to
280 metres in length with a maximum draught of up to
11.5 metres. The jetty is suitable for use by cruise
liners, offering coach parking near the gangway landing
point, quick access to main road networks and ready
security provision. Subject to overriding priority use
by Hydro-Electric, the jetty may also be used for
vehicle repair and maintenance, diving support and
survey vessels and vessels loading grain and other bulk
cargoes. Oil rigs may be accommodated from April to
September inclusive.
The jetty is also regularly used by clients for
demonstrating or testing ROV's and other equipment.
The tanker jetty consists of a reinforced concrete deck
supported on steel piles. The surface of the loading
platform is 4.8 metres above MHWS.
The centre of the berthing face at the loading platform
is protected by 3.3 metre diameter Yokohama fenders.
Berthing dolphins, similarly fendered, are located 35
metres either side of the centre of the loading
platform. Two mooring dolphins are located each side of
these. Both berthing and mooring dolphins are fitted
with Mampaey quick-release mooring hooks each capable of
accepting a mooring load up to 100 tonnes.
Vessels are required to ensure that their mooring ropes
are compatible with and have a proof loading not
exceeding these limits.
Fresh water is available at the jetty at a maximum
loading rate of 30 tonnes per hour. Fuel can be
delivered by road tanker. There is a small furnished
office located near the berth which is available to
clients using the jetty.
