HIE is working with HITRANS and the Scottish Executive on the development of a long-term strategy for ferry services in our region, which will meet the needs of businesses, residents and tourists.

In the short term, we are also supporting timetable improvements to existing services, including increased frequencies and extended operating times.

The following pages link to some recent reports commissioned by HIE with respect to ferry services and maritime transport.
