  • Submitted by: Kevin Stewart, Aberdeen Central, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 12 June 2024
  • Motion reference: S6M-13600

That the Parliament congratulates Port of Aberdeen on winning the Business of the Year award at the 2024 Maritime UK Awards; notes that the awards ceremony, which took place at the Titanic Belfast on 5 June, celebrated organisations across the maritime sector encompassing shipping, ports, engineering, professional services and leisure marine activities; understands the Port of Aberdeen won its award in recognition of its achievements in 2023, including record financial results, completion of its £420 million Aberdeen South Harbour expansion, and the progress of its award-winning net zero strategy, beating off competition from a number of other ports around the UK, including Peel Ports and Port of Blyth; believes that this award recognises the hard work and delivery by CEO Bob Sanguinetti and the rest of the Port of Aberdeen team in making the Port a key strategic asset in the North East, and wishes them well in their plans for the future in maximising the opportunities available across energy, trade and cruise.
