Insight Brief : How much worker capacity will be freed up at Sullom Voe Terminal and the Shetland supply chain by the decline in servicing oil and gas activity?

Plans for SVT’s future could see it shifting from By Karen Turner, Antonios Katris, Abdoul Karim Zanhouo and Paulina Gonzalez Martinez servicing oil and gas to becoming a hub for transporting and storing captured carbon (from the UK and overseas) and producing low-carbon fuels.
