Hound point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hound Point is a marine terminal in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, just east of the Forth Bridge. First opened in 1975, it is owned and operated by BP as an oil-export terminal for North Sea oil and is the largest such facility in Scotland.
The terminal is made up of two sea-island berths that can load vessels of up to 350,000 DWT. Crude oil, supplied by the Forties Pipeline, is loaded from a tank farm at Dalmeny on the southern shore of the estuary or direct from the pipeline.
