PETD: Summer community event

We are hosting a community engagement event to update islanders on proposed improvements and upgrades at Port Ellen Ferry Terminal.

The event will take place on Wednesday 22 June 2022, 3.00pm-6.30pm at Ramsay Hall in Port Ellen.  It will be a drop-in session and those interested are welcome to visit at a convenient time.  Civil engineers from CMAL and its partner consultant firm, Mott MacDonald will be joined by CalMac and Transport Scotland representatives to share design options and seek feedback from the community.

Engineers are exploring project scope and parameters and design options. Topographical, bathymetric and wave monitoring surveys have been conducted on-site to inform potential designs. The preferred option is likely to be approved towards the end of 2022, followed by a two-year programme of design, consents and procurement. Construction will be live between 2024 and 2026.
