Sea locks cap vessels on the Crinan Canal (GB CNC) at roughly 30 metres length, 7 metres beam and 3.2 metres draught, so this is no place for container ships, customs clearance or hazardous-goods traffic. The 14-kilometre Argyll waterway links Ardrishaig on Loch Gilp with Crinan on the Sound of Jura, saving coasters about 80 nautical miles around the Mull of Kintyre. Commercial relevance rests almost entirely on timber and self-loading bulk movements at Ardrishaig, where roughly 130 vessels move around 129,000 tonnes a year; the rest of the traffic is leisure and tourism. For general cargo, boxes or cleared imports, forwarders route through Clydeport (Glasgow/Greenock) or Ardrossan.
