Commenting on the FLOWMIS announcement, Gillian Morrison, Chair of the SIM Working Group said: "Our congratulations go to the two ports for being selected. We will continue to work closely with the team at the Port of Cromarty Firth to see how the SIM can support the FLOWMIS primary listing and help accelerate infrastructure works at the port. We also remain committed to working with a suite of projects from Scottish ports and the supply chain using the strength of collaboration to drive projects forward."
