An investment of more than \u00a330 million has been approved to enhance the capabilities of the Port of Nigg in Scotland, consolidating it as an important node for the development of energy infrastructure in the United Kingdom. This decision coincides with the launch of Maraen, a new brand that integrates port services, manufacturing<\/a><\/strong>services, manufacturing and energy solutions. <\/p>\n\n

In this context, the investment will allow the development of a new high-capacity wharf together with infrastructure for Ro-Ro, which will significantly expand the port’s logistics operations.<\/p>\n\n

After obtaining the building permits and the maritime license, work on the new pier, which will cover approximately 16,000 square meters, will begin shortly.<\/p>\n\n

An operational merger under the brand Maraen<\/h2>\n\n

On the other hand, Maraen was created as an integrated provider of energy infrastructure solutions, bringing together the Port of Nigg, Global Energy (Group) and Global Energy Services. These entities will operate under the divisions Maraen Port of Nigg, Maraen Fabrication and Maraen Solutions. <\/p>\n\n

This change follows the acquisition of Mitsui & Co. Europe Ltd. and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. in 2025, which reinforces the company’s commitment to sustained growth in the energy sector both in the United Kingdom and internationally.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, integration under a single brand allows us to optimize capabilities, improve operational efficiency and address larger scale projects in sectors such as oil and gas<\/a><\/strong>offshore wind power and nuclear energy.<\/p>\n\n

Port of Nigg as a strategic energy hub<\/h2>\n\n

The Nigg port expansion will have a direct impact on the supply chain of the offshore wind energy<\/a><\/strong>. Thanks to its strategic location in the Cromarty Estuary and its status as a green free zone, the port has already supported the deployment of more than 4 GW of offshore wind capacity. <\/p>\n\n

The new dock will facilitate more complex and simultaneous logistics operations, especially in the import and export of energy components. In addition, a dedicated facility for loading high-voltage cables manufactured by Sumitomo Electric will be set up nearby. <\/p>\n\n

The project is supported by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, which is providing a \u00a310 million grant. This funding is part of the Scottish Government’s commitment to invest up to \u00a3500 million over five years to strengthen the offshore wind supply chain. <\/p>\n\n

In addition, this investment is expected to generate employment and stimulate the regional economy, boosting the activity of suppliers and services associated with the energy sector.<\/p>\n\n
