The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown of (a) actual and (b) anticipated infrastructure capital spend, at (i) CMAL-owned and (ii) third party-owned terminals, associated with the introduction of the two new vessels currently under construction at Ferguson Marine in Port Glasgow.
The answer
The marine and landside upgrade works being undertaken at these ports go much further than simply accommodating the new vessels. The works replace ageing infrastructure, provide greater resilience and reliability to the ferry links, as well as improving the travelling experience for passengers.
Ferry Terminals at Brodick and Ardrossan
The cost for the Brodick Terminal project, which was completed in early 2018, was £30 million, with a £19.16 million contribution from the Scottish Government.
The Ardrossan Harbour re-development project is estimated to cost between £35 million to £40 million. The final cost of the project will not be known until the tender and procurement process has been undertaken and a contractor appointed. Peel Ports Group and North Ayrshire Council have also committed funds to the project, along with external funding partners..
Ferry Terminals at Tarbert, Lochmaddy and Uig
The Skye Triangle project includes infrastructure improvement works to the piers and harbours at three locations
- Tarbert, Lochmaddy and Uig. The project cost at all three ports estimated at around £60 million.
CMAL awarded the £14.3m contract for Tarbert which is currently under construction.
Lochmaddy is progressing towards re-tendering and Uig is currently in the tendering stage awaiting bids.
LNG bunkering facilities at the ferry terminals at Uig and Ardrossan
