New facilities will enable larger ships to dock at Western Isles town

Stornoway Port Authority is tendering for the design of a deep water berth so that the town on the Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles can host larger cruise ships.

The design is due to be completed by May, with construction work scheduled to start at the end of next year for a June 2021 finish.

Stornoway hosted 43 cruise ships in 2017 but only very few of these were larger boats.
