We thought we’d use this oil leak to say a big thanks to Drew Hendry for getting involved, and most importantly, listening. He states:
“…….many constituents have contacted me to express their concern. In addition, I have received nearly 300 responses to a recent survey I posted on the issue. Of these responses – 98% have identified as ‘I’m against the ship-to-ship transfer proposals’.”

If you live in Drew’s constituency then please go fill in the survey on his page below where he says:
“I have…. discussed the situation with local businesses and community groups…. met with Cromarty Rising…. and also met with the Cromarty Firth Port Authority to hear their views and plans…… I find that I support the view that the perceived economic benefits do not outweigh potential negative implications a granted licence could have on the entire area. Whilst Ship-to-Ship transfers happen relatively safely in other parts of the UK, it does not follow that all locations are suitable for the process. ……”
