Series 5: Aberdeen Harbour
Aberdeen Harbour is one of Britain’s oldest businesses and busiest ports. Today’s harbour is undergoing a multi-million-pound extension, involving some of the world’s biggest machines, whilst maintaining the day-to-day flow of giant oil ships, ferries and fishing boats. It’s run by an expert team of pilots, navigators, boat specialists and engineers whose job it is to keep this 24/7 operation ship-shape whatever the weather, whatever it takes.
