McLaughlin & Harvey lands £107m port upgrade deal | Construction Enquirer News

Work for the client Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited will start in June and is expected to complete in 2029. The redevelopment project will deliver a modernised harbour and expanded landside infrastructure to support current and future ferry operations. Works include significant land reclamation to create the required marshalling and laydown areas for cars and commercial vehicles, alongside safe and efficient traffic management routes throughout the port. A new dedicated ferry berth suitable for both the new Islay-class and current vessels will be constructed, incorporating key marine requirements such as fendering, dredging and bollards. The project will also deliver a new linkspan, fixed ramp, shore power charging facilities and a new, larger ferry terminal building to enhance passenger and staff comfort. Seamus Devlin, Civil Engineering Managing Director, McLaughlin & Harvey Ltd, said: “As a main civil engineering contractor, we have delivered Port infrastructure projects across the UK & Ireland and understand the potential that this project has to unlock long-term economic opportunities for the wider Inner Hebrides.”
