Decommissioning Of The Mv Kaami At Kishorn Port, June 2020 - A Video

15th July 2020

MV Kaami, a general cargo vessel salvaged six miles off the northwest coast of Skye, Scotland after running aground in March, has been dismantled and recycled in Kishorn.

Built in 1994, the 89.8-meter vessel, owned by Norway's Misje Rederi, was sailing under the flag of Bahamas when it ran aground on March 23 this year. It was refloated by Resolve Marine Group and towed to Kishorn Port and Dry Dock on the northwest coast of Scotland.

Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) has invested more than £700,000 ($878,500) in Kishorn in recent years, along with support from the Decommissioning Fund, to add to the significant investment made by Kishorn Port Limited (KPL) and its partners, contributing toward the costs of overhauling the dock gates, modified seals, creating a new access road and buying and installing dry dock gate anchors and two new moorings for holding the gates in the loch.

The 160- by 160-meter dock was recently fully opened to the sea for the first time in 25 years to welcome the MV Kaami upon its arrival in May.
