The £407,395 awarded to the harbour in grant funding will go towards refurbishment of Tarbert Fishing Quay.
The total cost of the project is around £543,000, with the remainder of the cost being met from Tarbert Harbour Authority reserves.
The project was amongst 21 chosen to receive grant funding through the UK Government’s second round of the UK Seafood Infrastructure Scheme, managed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, in a drive to modernise and improve infrastructure across the seafood sector, support coastal communities and contribute towards net zero targets.
Roger Godfrey, chairman of the board of trustees of Tarbert (Loch Fyne) Harbour
Authority, said: “We are delighted our application to refurbish and redevelop the fish quay at Tarbert has been successful.
“The refurbished quay will have a new ice plant, a davit and winch, a better wash-room, additional creel storage and larger storage containers to accommodate fishing gear/nets.
“It will also include the replacement of the creel boat berthing wave screen, re-roofing and refurbishment of several fish quay buildings, better lighting and the extension of electrical services on the quay.
“The work is due to begin this month and should be completed by end of this year.”
