Vehicles queue on the marshalling apron as the Skye ferry noses into the linkspan — Tarbert, the main village of the Isle of Harris, works above all as a roll-on/roll-off ferry port rather than a cargo terminal. Caledonian MacBrayne sails from here to Uig on Skye in about 1 hour 40 minutes, using CMAL-owned berthing infrastructure. Its freight role rests on accompanied lorries and delivery vans that keep the Outer Hebrides supplied with food, fuel, building materials and livestock. There is no container terminal, customs gateway or bulk-handling capability in any meaningful sense. Onward movement runs by road along the A859 toward Stornoway on Lewis. Shippers with containerised or larger consignments are better served by Stornoway or the mainland port of Ullapool.
