At Nigg there is an important [[North Sea oil]] and renewable energy centre owned by Global Energy Group since 2011. The yard with a [[dry dock]] for repairing and fabricating [[oil platform]]s, was opened in 1972 as a joint venture between [[KBR (company)|Brown & Root]] and construction company [[George Wimpey]]. The yard is presently known as Nigg Energy Park.

Elsewhere along the firth are facilities for cruise ships, oil processing, and bulk cargo handling.

Cromarty Firth Port Authority is the body responsible for regulating and managing the commercial and industrial resources of the firth.<ref name="cfpa1">{{cite web|title=Looking back at over 200 years of history in the Cromarty Firth|url=http://www.cfpa.co.uk/About-Us/History.aspx|website=Port of Cromarty Firth|publisher=Cromarty Firth Port Authority|accessdate=28 September 2017}}</ref>
