Forth Ports Limited<\/a> (\u201cForth Ports\u201d) and OM Heavy Lift (\u201cOMHL\u201d) are pleased to announce today (9 February 2022) Forth Ports\u2019 acquisition of OMHL.<\/p>\n

This acquisition further enhances Forth Ports\u2019 ability to offer an attractive, full-service package for offshore renewables projects, providing marine services; quayside infrastructure and land; and now, with OMHL, heavy lift plant and logistics solutions.<\/p>\n

OMHL is a well-established, professional project engineering company that has worked closely with Forth Ports on a number of large-scale projects in the renewables and decommissioning sectors. Based in Dundee, OMHL\u2019s wide range of experience and unrivalled fleet of specialist heavy lift plant \u2013 including the UK\u2019s largest permanent quayside crane \u2013 will work across Forth Ports\u2019 Scottish operations, including the ports of Leith, Grangemouth, Rosyth and Dundee.<\/p>\n

OMHL will continue to be led by Managing Director, Alex Fyfe, who will work directly with David Webster, as the newly appointed Director of Energy for Forth Ports.<\/p>\n

Charles Hammond OBE, Group Chief Executive of Forth Ports<\/b>, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cToday\u2019s news is another important strategic move for Forth Ports as we secure our place in the offshore renewables sector, following the recent announcement of the ScotWind leasing round. We are investing significantly in Dundee and Leith to create an attractive offering for offshore renewables which will support the country\u2019s transition to net zero. The acquisition of OMHL, coupled with that of Targe Towing, places Forth Ports in a strong position to play a leading role in supporting Scotland\u2019s offshore renewables future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex Fyfe, Managing Director of OMHL<\/b>, said: \u201cThis is an exciting new chapter for OMHL as we combine our skills and expertise with the broader Forth Ports business. We have a strong relationship with the Forth Ports team that we look forward to developing further in the fast-growing offshore renewables market.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Webster, Director of Energy for Forth Ports<\/b>\u00a0said: \u201cWith the OMHL team coming on board, we can now offer a complete, integrated service solution for offshore renewables customers, anywhere within our ports business in Scotland, from marine towage right through to quayside cranage and laydown land.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
