About This Seaport
Operating since May 2001, the family-run Pentland Ferries links St Margarets Hope on Orkney's South Ronaldsay with Gills Bay on the Scottish mainland in about an hour, the shortest car crossing to the islands. The Pier Road berth is built for roll-on/roll-off vehicle and passenger traffic rather than containerised or bulk maritime trade. Accompanied freight is essentially limited to vans and trailers serving island supply runs. Container, tanker and project cargo for Orkney moves through the commercial ports of Kirkwall and Hatston, which offer liner calls and laydown areas. For freight forwarders, St Margarets Hope is therefore a RoRo gateway, not a cargo terminal.
