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 Islands Connectivity Plan sets out the Scottish Government's long-term objectives and policies for ensuring necessary and sustainable transport links for our islands. The Vessels and Ports Plan is one of the key elements delivering those objectives for the Clyde & Hebrides and Northern Isles networks.

The publication provides a broad range of transport statistics including road vehicles, traffic, casualties, bus and rail passengers, road and rail freight, air and water transport and personal travel.
