The authority has issued a tender for a contractor to build a 170m quay at the north side of Montrose Harbour, including a 30m concrete hard-standing and heavy lift area.
It is a sequel to an £8.5m project that completed last year to construct a deep water berth on the South Quay, which boosted annual tonnage from 1.4 million to 2 million, mainly by quadrupling its business with oil and gas companies to one million tonnes.
