Minutes from the 19th Ardrossan Harbour Taskforce meeting.

This Strategic Approach is the core element of the Islands Connectivity Plan and proposes our overall strategic approach to island transport connectivity, including ferries, aviation and fixed links. It sets a Vision and four Priorities, each supported by Outcomes for the future ferry services in Scotland.

The Vessels and Ports Plan is one of the key elements delivering those objectives for the Clyde & Hebrides and Northern Isles networks.
