The existing pier and passenger facilities at Craignure are life expired and new infrastructure will support the deployment of new vessels on the route and wider ferry network as follows: - Replace the existing terminal infrastructure, parts of which are in poor condition, deteriorating or have limited structural capacity. - Increase berth capacity at the new ferry terminal to allow the full range of design vessels to be safely accommodated. - Ensure vessels can reliably berth year-round at the new ferry terminal, including in challenging weather conditions and overnight, to reduce weather-related cancellations and improve the winter timetable. - Increase resilience of the new ferry terminal operations. - Allow safe and efficient embarkation and disembarkation for both vehicles and foot passengers, including those with impaired mobility and wheelchair users. - Increase capacity of the new vehicle marshalling yard in line with industry standards, addressing congestion on the A849. - Provide a new terminal building with modern facilities, meeting staff and passenger demand. - Provide access for RNLI lifeboat, which is used for medical evacuations from Mull to the mainland; and - Maintain the operational ferry service during construction works, avoiding and minimising disruption to the ferry service as far as practicable.
