This pier was built to allow movement of raw materials and finished product to and from the now demolished Invergordon Aluminium Smelter which closed in 1981. A conveyor that was connected to the pier from the smelter survived until c.1986. The pier is some 1.0km in length, exploiting the deep water in the Cromarty Firth. At its loading end it has a travelling hopper and crane and two fixed green light beacons.
