 | | Completion of a study of the Economic Impact of a Container Transhipment Port at Scapa Flow, investigating the economic impact not just in Orkney, but in the north of Scotland generally, and on Scotland and the UK as a whole. |
 | | This new report, entitled Scapa Flow: Optimising the Container Transhipment Hub Location in Northern Europe, used a different methodology, based on deviation distance, to again demonstrate the attractions of a hub at Scapa Flow, particularly in the context of Northern Europe and the Baltic, given the growth of the economies of countries around the Baltic. |
 | | Within Scapa Flow, which can accommodate the largest vessels, a site has been identified for a competitive offshore container transhipment terminal - the Golta peninsula on the island of Flotta, which is already home to the oil terminal which has successfully handled North Sea Oil for thirty years, since the mid-1970’s. |
