On its LinkedIn page, Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) announced that the outline design for the preferred option for the Oban 1 Berth Upgrades Project has been completed.
The project will improve port infrastructure to support existing ferry operations and accommodate future vessels, including those planned under the Small Vessel Replacement Programme (SVRP).
Work is continuing on the Outline Business Case, which is expected to be submitted to Transport Scotland for approval. Subject to approval, detailed design is anticipated to begin towards the end of 2026.
Further work will include shore power proposals and additional ground investigations. CMAL also plans to launch a first public consultation on a revised Harbour Revision Order later in 2026.
