About This Seaport
At Fort William (GB FWM) the working quay is actually at Corpach, across the water at the southern end of the Caledonian Canal, where Loch Linnhe meets Loch Eil. A quay of about 120 m with roughly 3.6 m alongside handles timber, agricultural, general, project and bulk cargo, with the shallow depth limiting calls to smaller coastal vessels. Operators such as Ferguson Transport & Shipping, the Great Glen Shipping Company and Boyd Brothers use it to move Highland timber by sea around Scotland's west coast, keeping log lorries off narrow roads. There is no container liner service here. Inland access is via the A82 trunk road and the West Highland railway line. For containers or larger parcels, forwarders should use Greenock (Clydeport) to the west or Grangemouth on the east coast.
