Participation checked

Marine construction programme; owner 9 October steel-pile import and local-transfer plan, with actual receipts to confirm.

Participation source

CMAL's Port Ellen terminal redevelopment combines dredging, reclamation and new ferry infrastructure. Its 9 October logistics plan schedules steel-pile imports by vessel, followed by lorry transfer from the pier to storage beside Islay Airport. McLaughlin & Harvey holds the wider construction appointment.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL)
Delivery parties
McLaughlin & Harvey
Contract route
Owner March 2026 announcement appoints McLaughlin & Harvey to the wider terminal construction package. No independent dredging award value or subcontract allocation established.
Execution window
The 9 October plan expected imports in the week beginning 12 October, weather permitting, and three to four days of local road transport. The September notice described an earlier anticipated two-week Phase 3 dredging period.
Works package
Capital dredging, reclamation and ferry berthing infrastructure, with linkspan, ramp, shore power and terminal facilities in the wider development. Marine and landside scopes are not separately priced here.
Marine interfaces
Buoyed inner-harbour access, barge-master coordination, separate berth restrictions, dredging records and post-completion surveys connect marine works to existing harbour use. This record is not navigational advice.
Commercial evidence boundary
Sea delivery limits the island-wide road leg while adding pier unloading, storage and subsequent workfront handling. A logistics allowance needs pile bundle weights, trailer and lifting availability, compound capacity and dated receipts alongside the agreed operating windows.
