Scotland’s Nigg Energy Park has welcomed Seven Borealis vessel from the Subsea 7 fleet for a short-term stay.

Nigg Energy Park said that Seven Borealis would have a four-day stay at Nigg before heading back out to sea. The vessel has a gross tonnage of over 48,700 and sizes up at 182m long with a breadth of 46m, making Nigg one of the few ports in the UK able to accommodate it.
