Two lifeline ferry routes define Uig: a short hop across the Minch links this Isle of Skye terminal with Tarbert on Harris and Lochmaddy on North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Operated by Caledonian MacBrayne from a sheltered horseshoe bay on the Trotternish peninsula, the terminal handles passengers, vehicles and freight on roll-on/roll-off sailings. Most island-bound cargo — groceries, building materials, general freight — travels as accompanied or unaccompanied trailers rather than in containers. With a pier depth of roughly 4.9 m, the facility is built for ferries, not for lift-on/lift-off boxes or heavy project cargo. Forwarders therefore book consignments into the ferry timetable as trailer units. For containerised freight to the Western Isles, mainland ports such as Ullapool (for Stornoway) are the more suitable gateway.
