From the Wikipedia article
Aberdeen Harbour, rebranded as the Port of Aberdeen in 2022, is a sea port located in the city of Aberdeen on the east coast of Scotland. The port was first established in 1136 and has been continually redeveloped over the centuries to provide a base for significant fishing and ship building industries. Since the 1970s it has provided support to the offshore oil and gas industry operating in the North Sea and it is the main commercial port in the north east of Scotland. The Port of Aberdeen is the largest port in Scotland (by berthage and area) and the busiest port via vessel visits in Scotland also. In 2023, the Port of Aberdeen opened South Harbour. This £420 million extension added 1.5km of deep water berthage to support cruise ships, cargo vessels and the Offshore wind sector. Port of Aberdeen is the UK's oldest business, since 1136.
