Ardersier Port Bauer Project

Each project brings different port-side demands. Some require heavy lift planning and specialist transport. Others depend on cargo readiness, quayside access, vessel timing and safe coordination between multiple teams.

PSG’s role is to keep these operational stages controlled, practical and aligned with the wider project programme.

Supporting Scotland’s Marine, Energy and Infrastructure Projects

Port operations often sit between vessel schedules, cargo readiness and site deadlines.

Offshore Wind

Offshore wind projects often involve large components, tight vessel windows and limited quayside space. 


PSG supports the controlled handling of project cargo at port, with lift planning, transport coordination and quayside teams aligned before work starts.

Oil and Gas

Oil and gas port work often depends on fast response, safe cargo movement and clear vessel coordination.

PSG supports these operations with experienced port teams, heavy lift capability and practical logistics planning.

Subsea Construction

Subsea construction needs accurate mobilisation before vessels leave port.

PSG helps prepare cargo, coordinate lifting activity and support vessel logistics so equipment reaches the quay in the right sequence.

Energy Infrastructure

Energy infrastructure projects often involve staged deliveries, storage needs and onward movement from port to site.

PSG supports cargo receipt, inspection, warehousing and specialist transport where timing and access need control.

Decommissioning Projects

Decommissioning projects can bring irregular cargo, strict safety controls and complex handling requirements.

PSG supports port-side movement, lifting coordination and onward logistics for planned decommissioning activity.

Cruise Sector Logistics

Cruise sector logistics need reliable timing and clear access around busy vessel calls.

PSG can support quayside logistics, supplies and port-side coordination where smooth turnaround matters.

How PSG Keeps Port Work Under Control

Port operations can fail when timing, access, lifting and cargo readiness are treated as separate tasks.

PSG reduces that risk by reviewing the operation before work reaches the quay. The team looks at what needs to move, where it will be handled and which support services need to be ready.

Need to reduce risk before cargo reaches the quay?

Speak to PSG before mobilisation starts. The team can review access, lifting needs, vessel timing, cargo handling and onward movement.
Some port operations need more than quayside coordination.
When the work involves heavy lift engineering, specialist transport, SPMT movements, CDM project management, lift planning or RAMS, PSG Projects can support the wider operation from planning through execution.
