The Port

Behind the scenes at Scotland's largest and busiest maritime hub - the Port of Aberdeen - a critical gateway linking the nation to the North Sea's vital trade routes and industries. We follow the everyday heroes who work tirelessly to keep 7,600 meters of quayside operational against the odds as they welcome over 7000 vessels annually, processing more than three million tons of cargo.

In the Port of Aberdeen, no day is the same. Every day brings fresh challenges. We capture the riveting day-to-day lives of the hundred-strong support staff - from the daring pilots who leap between moving vessels to the unsung heroes whose precision keeps two vast harbours humming with activity.

This series captures the scale, skill, and sheer determination that keeps this vital artery of British industry pumping 24/7, 365 days a year.
