The £49m structure will be designed to accommodate ships up to 360mtr in length and will be the only deep water berth on the west coast of Scotland, north of Greenock.
Alex MacLeod, chief executive, Stornoway Port Authority, said, ‘This project will bring transformative change to the entire region, most notably to the local economy, and it gives us immense excitement to see the collaborative approach between all the local partners which will be essential to ensure the operational success of the terminal.’
He added, ‘Our own announcement comes just three weeks after the confirmation of Southampton’s new fifth terminal, which will greatly enhance the cruise itineraries and volume of ships coming from Southampton and neighbouring ports.’
