Plans have been revealed for a major upgrade at Wick harbour which will strengthen its role as an energy port.
Wick Harbour Authority is aiming to install a high-water protection gate which will enable vessels to use the outer harbour berthing facilities all year round. It comes at a time when the authority is receiving a number of enquiries about the next round of offshore wind leasing.
