Forgive me if I’m wrong, but the whole thing about STS was to introduce a new revenue stream to make up for the loss of revenue from transferring oil at Nigg. But here are the CFPA, supposedly slashing prices. We suspect companies such as Global might not see it way as last we heard they felt particularly hard done to and considered that charges would be raised for them. One area where Bob Buskie can confidently say that he has slashed prices is of course ship to ship oil transfers. You will be able to do it in the Moray Firth for one third of the price anywhere else in the UK – that certainly will attract business but not the kind of business we stakeholders want to see. Drop the plan.
