Uig Terminal Building: Upcoming Changes and Developments

Project progress and delivery

The Highland Council’s (THC) project to construct the new CFL ticket office is progressing, with an expected completion date in Q2 2025. There will be a handover period to ensure CFL is fully operational in the new building.

Plans for the existing ticket office and warehouse

Upon CalMac’s relocation, CMAL will address the future of the existing ticket office and warehouse, which will no longer be necessary for ferry operations. The building, currently in poor condition, requires major repairs, including the removal of asbestos-containing materials. These repairs pose a substantial obligation to any potential buyer.

Demolition and future use

CMAL’s preference is to demolish the existing structure and market the vacant site for sale. This approach ensures that all interested parties have an equal opportunity to make offers and allows CMAL to achieve the best value for the surplus asset. Best value encompasses both commercial value and community benefits, which will be considered during the evaluation process.
