Pontoons installed and extended by Fort William Marina and Shoreline Community Interest Company (FWMSCIC) to enable cruise ships to come to Fort William - have been operational since 2023.
FWMSCIC have provided sheltering facilities in the West End Car Park and have been successful in securing a 5-year lease to provide a toilet, shower and office block which have recently been installed.
FWMSCIC are now looking to expand the Fort William pontoons significantly to allow short stay berths for yachts, cruisers and a seaplane. They are looking for comments on a range of suggestions, including creating a visitor centre, installing a breakwater to protect the marina and developing a promenade along the waterfront.
Proposals have been incorporated into the Town Centre Masterplan.
