Work on Aberdeen harbour’s £350 million expansion is on track after the second of 22 huge concrete blocks, or caissons, arrived in Nigg Bay.
The 6,000-tonne caissons are 164ft long, 49ft wide and about 52ft deep, and have been made in La Coruna in north-west Spain.
They will be filled with water and sunk into the North Sea to form the foundations of the new Castlegate and Dunnottar quays.
Aberdeen Harbour Board’s project will add nearly 4,600ft of new quayside to the city’s port.
