Harbour Dues

From 1st April 2009, a new pricing structure for pier and berthing dues will apply at all piers and harbours owned by CMAL throughout the West Coast of Scotland.

The changes follow a comprehensive review into the current charging arrangements inherited by CMAL, to ensure fair and open access to its port and harbour facilities as well as consistency across the network.

The fees collected are then used to contribute towards improvements and maintenance of harbour facilities and infrastructure owned by CMAL in Scotland.

These revised charges and fees do not apply to any transportation/passengers booked on CalMac operated ferry services but only to third party users of CMAL facilities.

A range of season tickets are now available to purchase online for both fishing and pleasure crafts.

Passes offered include a berthing only annual pass for fishing vessels, or a range of composite season tickets, for both fishing and pleasure crafts, which include berthing, passenger/crew dues, fish landing dues and water dues.

Charges on a call by call basis are still available to be paid locally at ports.

Following receipt of payment (on line or otherwise), a credit card sized ticket will be issued by post, with vessel name and details, and ticket type and validity periods.  You will be asked to display this on arrival at CMAL facility. Tickets are for named vessels, and are not interchangeable.

The CMAL Board will review the pricing structure on an annual basis.
