HC Deb 19 March 1982 vol 20 cc211-2W
Mr.Myles

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what ports in Scotland are capable of coping with 10,000 tonne grain-carrying vessels; and what ports could economically be adapted to perform this function.

Mr. Eyre

I have been asked to reply.

I am advised that the ports in Scotland capable of coping with 10,000 tonne grain-carrying vessels are:

  • Aberdeen
  • Glasgow
  • 212
  • Cromarty Firth
  • Dundee
  • Leith
  • Montrose

Some other ports could no doubt be adapted to perform this function. Without knowing the terms on which such adaptations might be proposed, it is impossible to say whether they would be economic.
