Port Agent Hound Point

Hound Point Port Agency Services

Run your crude oil carriers on schedule at this Firth of Forth offshore loading terminal.

Beneath the Forth Rail Bridge, this facility loads North Sea crude oil from the Forties pipeline system onto tankers via its single point mooring and conventional berths on the south shore of the firth.

Efficient Crude Oil Loading Operations at Hound Point

Avoid delays through pre-arrival coordination of pilotage across the Firth of Forth, berthing, and mooring at the Hound Point loading facility.

The terminal's specific safety and security protocols, including exclusion zone management around the loading platform, are coordinated alongside standard port formalities.

Stay compliant on every departure from Hound Point. Environmental documentation covering the firth's sensitive marine environment, MARPOL compliance, loading certificates, and terminal safety reporting are completed before your vessel sails. Forth Ports authority requirements, waste notifications, and any oil spill contingency coordination are managed on your behalf.
