While there is no guarantee or commitment of any kind, Cromarty Firth Port Authority and Peel Ports Investments Limited and it’s Group of Companies including its Statutory Harbour Authorities have indicated an interest in exploring the possibility of calling-off works under the framework once it is concluded and Scape is pleased to alert the market to this potential opportunity.
