Our Location

Stornoway Port Authority is located at the far north west of Scotland, ideally located for journeys into the North West Atlantic and for the North west of the UK. The Port currently provides the largest alongside berth north of the Clyde and with its Deep Water terminal has plans to develop a berth to take significantly larger vessels.
