For freight, Stornoway is best understood as the lifeline port of the Outer Hebrides rather than a deep-sea container terminal. The core service is Caledonian MacBrayne's RoRo ferry to Ullapool, where the MV Loch Seaforth carries trucks, trailers and accompanied cargo that keep the Isle of Lewis supplied. No.1 Pier takes larger commercial vessels, while No.2 Pier focuses on a busy fishing fleet whose landings drive much of the port's commercial throughput. Cranes handle bulk, occasional containers and project cargo, with drafts of around 6.5 m in the natural harbour and deeper movements on the tide. Marine diesel is available and repair capacity is moderate. Containerised overseas freight is better routed via Glasgow/Greenock and Aberdeen.
