| Kishorn Update - June 2009 | |
 |
Ferguson Transport (Spean Bridge) Ltd have also recently made further investments in their port facilities at Kishorn, in the way of a new maintenance facility for plant and equipment along with new purpose built forktruck handling equipment. The port handles fish food, roundwood, aggregate and sand etc and is currently used as a supply hub for shipping out products, plant and equipment for the new Rassay pier project. Managing Director Alasdair Ferguson quoted “we are delighted that this project for the new workshop and offices are now up and running, it has been two years in the planning. Whilst the current economic climate is not great we feel it is the correct time to proceed with our new facilities looking to the future, giving us the potential to expand, consolidate part of our operations under the one roof and bringing us closer to our customers in the area. This will also cut down on the downtime, labour and fuel costs running our fleet of 40+ vehicles and 80+ trailers out to Spean Bridge for inspection, maintenance and repair. |

| Kishorn Port Development | |
 |
Development of the Kishorn port facility is the biggest step that Ferguson Transport has taken in the last few years. Managing Director, Alasdair Ferguson, said "This has been a major project for us and has taken nearly two years to bring to fruition. However the integration of road and sea freight enables us to offer an efficient and more cost effective service to our customers." Alasdair added "This is in line with government policy to integrate freight services and cut down road miles particularly in rural areas where the road infrastructure is very fragile and lacks sufficient investment or available funds for major improvements" |
