UK demolition firm calls upon Government to allow ship breaking at former oil yard.
DSM Demolition has called upon energy minister Jim Mather to interject in an ongoing row over the future of the former Nigg oil yard at Easter Ross in the Scottish Highlands.
The company, which is currently involved in the demolition of the world-famous BBC Pebble Mill Studios in the Midlands, has plans to turn the former oil yard into one of the UK’s largest ship and oil rig decommissioning and dismantling facilities. But its efforts are currently encumbered by a dispute between owners US oil and gas giant KBR and the Wakelyn Trust that has held up its sale.
According to DSM, the Nigg facility has one of the largest dry docks in Europe, 45,570 square metres of covered workshop and almost 30 hectares of yard space.
