Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd has announced that materials for the Port Ellen Terminal Development project will be imported and stored during the week beginning Monday 12 October 2026. These works are subject to weather conditions.
The steel piles will be transported to Islay by vessel to minimise disruption to the island's road network. Upon arrival at Port Ellen pier, the materials will be moved to project storage compounds located adjacent to Islay Airport.
During this period, the local community may observe an increased number of lorry movements through Port Ellen village. These transportation works are anticipated to last approximately three to four days, depending on operational and weather conditions.
All deliveries and movements will occur during standard working hours, and the project is being conducted in accordance with approvals from the local authority. The project team is committed to ongoing collaboration with local stakeholders and will provide further updates as work progresses.
