Show Notes
Caledonian Maritime Assets is investing £107 million in a major upgrade at Port Ellen ferry terminal on Islay, Scotland. The project includes a new dedicated berth, dredging, fendering, and bollards to accommodate new Islay-class vessels from Turkey. Additionally, a fresh linkspan, fixed ramp, shore-power charging, and a larger terminal building will enhance passenger comfort. The upgrade also features a longer fishing berth and a commercial quay, with separate offloading zones for safety. The project aims to boost capacity for more passengers, cars, and freight, supporting the island economy. Construction begins in June 2023, with completion expected by 2029.
