Upgrade work on the Lochmaddy Pier used for the Calmac ferry service on North Uist, Scotland, is scheduled to start after £10m contract for dredging and construction work was awarded to L&M Keating Ltd. writes Dag Pike. The marine, civil engineering and building company was handed the contract by Comhairle nan Eilean Siar to carry out upgrade work at the site. Following the announcement in 2015 of the decision to replace the ferry MV Hebrides, the Comhairle as the harbour authority for Lochmaddy Pier have been working with Transport Scotland, Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd, CalMac Ferries Ltd and The Highland Council in the identification and delivery of infrastructure improvements required at the port and also at Tarbert (Harris) and Uig (Skye). The upgrade work is part of the £60m Skye Triangle Infrastructure Project, which involves significant harbour upgrades at the three ports at Tarbert, Lochmaddy and Uig.
