Loch kishorn oil rig construction
Kishorn was used in the 1970s for the construction of the Ninian Central oil production platform. Weighing more than 600,000 tonnes, the platform was the world's largest floating concrete In the 1970s, the yard was used for the construction of the Ninian Central oil production platform. The platform was towed out of Loch Kishorn in May 1978. Howard Doris, the yard operators finally succumbed to insolvency in 1988 and the yard lay largely dormant until 1992, when the dry dock was resurrected to enable the casting of the two 2,500 tonne concrete caissons that support the Skye Bridge. The newly revamped Kishorn dry dock is among projects which have benefited from previous funding rounds. Pictured is Kishorn Port director Simon Russell with the Ocean Greatwhite oil rig. When the Ninian Central oil production platform was towed out of Loch Kishorn in May 1978, at just over 600,000 tonnes it was the largest concrete structure that had ever moved across the face of the earth. And now, more than 40 years later, another giant of the oil and gas industry will be coming to Kishorn Port in the first week of January. Kishorn Port Ltd (KPL) is the joint venture company regenerating the oil and gas construction yard, dry dock and marine facilities at Kishorn, on the west coast of Scotland. The sheltered deep-water access channel of Loch Kishorn, together with a unique 160m diameter dry dock with up to 13.8m of water makes it ideal for engagement with the oil and gas, renewables and decommissioning sectors.

When the Ninian Central oil production platform was towed out of Loch Kishorn in May 1978, at just over 600,000 tonnes it was the largest concrete structure that had ever moved across the face of the earth. And now, more than 40 years later, another giant of the oil and gas industry will be coming to Kishorn Port in the first week of January. Kishorn was used in the 1970s for the construction of the Ninian Central oil production platform. Weighing more than 600,000 tonnes, the platform was the world's largest floating concrete structure. Now Kishorn is to be used for servicing the world's biggest semi-submersible offshore drilling rig, Ocean GreatWhite. The Howard Doris Oil Rig Yard on the north shore of Loch Kishorn operated from 1975 to 1987. After seeing an earlier planning application for a yard at Drumbuie fail, the developers appointed Geoffrey Jellicoe as their landscape architect. The yard was used to build what was then the largest movable object made by man: the Ninian Central Platform. As soon as they obtained planning permission, the developers terminated their arrangement with Jellicoe.
