NIFV: Public Engagement for Northern Isles Freight Vessel Replacement Project

We are pleased to announce a series of public engagement sessions for the Northern Isles Freight Vessel Replacement Project. These sessions, which will be held in partnership with Transport Scotland and Serco NorthLink, will provide an opportunity for the community to learn about the project and offer their feedback.

The events will be drop-in sessions and anyone with an interest in the project is encouraged to drop in at a time and location convenient to them. We will present our updates in storyboard format, and the project team will be on hand to answer any questions.

Following the events, a copy of the materials exhibited, and a feedback form will be available at cmassets.co.uk/nifv, and after collating all feedback, we will publish a Q&A document.
