Question
To ask the Scottish Government for how long it expects CalMac Ferries to operate the service to Arran from Troon Harbour during the construction phase of the Ardrossan Harbour upgrade project.
Answer
The Ardrossan-Brodick/Campbeltown ferry service is expected to operate from Troon Harbour for around 18 months while construction works are carried out at Ardrossan harbour.
The transfer of services will not take place until construction work begins which is expected in Summer 2022. However this date is subject to the tender and procurement stages. A more defined programme will be provided once a contractor is appointed.
