      Lochboisdale-Mallaig Ferry Proposal

      In January 2008 Stòras Uibhist was asked by Stewart Stevenson, Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change, to investigate options for implementing a Lochbosidale-Mallaig Ferry service. The Minister indicated there was up to £1million per year of additional funding available to deliver the service.

      On July 21st 2008 a proposal was delivered to the Minister by Angus MacMillan (Chairman) and Huw Francis (Chief Executive), detailing the schedules, costs and revenues for such a service and details of a boat available to operate the route. The proposal required only an additional £650,000 of funding.

      The proposal was rejected by the Minister for reasons other than cost and the letter detailing these reasons is available in pdf format below.

      To date (January 2009) the MV Claymore is still available to operate the route if a means can be found to do so.
