There have been no specific meetings between Ministers or officials and Cromarty Firth Port Authority at which their proposals for ship to ship oil transfers were discussed. However the matter was an agenda item at the Cromarty Firth Port Authority Annual and Board meetings on 24 and 25 November 2016 in Invergordon, attended by a Transport Scotland official as an observer. Officials occasionally attend various trust port board meetings as part of their role in developing guidance for the port sector.
The decision on any licence for ship to ship oil transfers is a reserved matter and the responsibility rests with the Secretary of State for Transport.
