Future Development Plans
As part of the ongoing investment in the facilities at Rosyth, Babcock is proposing to develop Babcock International Container Terminal to the west of the current operational site. Once constructed it will provide deep water access for a state of the art multimodal container terminal. Currently progressing Marine Licence application for associated dredging in the Firth of Forth.

Chart Datum
Chart Datum (CD) is a level set low enough to ensure that the tide rarely falls below it. The UK usually determines this as being approximately the level of Lowest Astronomical Tide. In effect, this is the minimum depth that can be achieved by a quayside or port entrance channel.
Vessel Dimensions
Length overall (LOA) means the maximum length of a vessel's hull when measured parallel to the waterline.
A ship’s beam refers to its width at the widest point, when measured at the ship's nominal waterline.
The draft of a ship's hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel), which includes the thickness of the hull. The draft of a ship or boat signifies the minimum depth of water it can safely navigate.
