Seafreight

With some types of goods that we transport, integrating road and seafreight is the most efficient method.

General Freight: We load ships with our truck mounted mobile cranes as well as the Liebher 934 dock shiploader. The ships then take it to the port closest to the end user. This is a far more economical logistical solution than sending by road freight, particularly for Forest Products.

Fish Farms: We have a regular fish food delivery service on the West Coast of Scotland from as far South as Arran - Mull - Loch Linnhe, as far West as Loch Hourn - Skye - Uist - Lewis - Harris and as far North as the Shetland Isles.

Vessels: range from 100 tonne to 600 tonne complete with onboard cranes to load and self discharge. We also have available 29 tonne hydraulic cranes, 2.5 - 11 tonne fork trucks and a tele-handler with shovel. Storage and warehousing is also available.

In 2004 Fergusons purchased the Harvest Anne, which is used for the aquaculture industry, delivering to fish farms on the west coast of Scotland from Lewis and Harris down to the island of Arran and Loch Fyne. In 2006 the Harvest Caroline was purchased, a Norwegian built carrier with rolling self discharge.
