What the estimated costs are of establishing a ferry service between Lochboisdale and Mallaig.

It is not possible to provide the estimated costs of establishing a Lochboisdale-Mallaig ferry service in the absence of a detailed service specification for the route. A service specification would set out the timetable, the size and type of vessel(s) and the crew required. Harbour dues, fuel costs, other ancillary costs, anticipated revenue and the level of subsidy required to support the service would also need to be factored into the costs.
