The company runs the Fort William Pontoons, the only safe access to shore in Fort William for locals and marine tourists. The Pontoons opened for business in May 2016. During the financial year 2024, the Pontoons activities have benefitted the community in the following ways: 1) Local residents have been able to use the Pontoons to get safe and secure access to/from Loch Linnhe during the year 2) It has enabled us to promote our area to short stay marine visitors with the hope that they will pass on to their friends and family what a lovely time they’ve had in our wee town 3) The local shops and museum who have generally seen an increase in business from the marine tourists using the Pontoons were able to benefit from this facility 4) Approximately 281 vessels stayed alongside the extension during the season Other benefits were brought to the community as follows: 1) 17 (out of 19 scheduled) cruise ships were able to use the Fort William Pontoons to come to shore and visit the various locations in the area, enjoy the events, shops and facilities in the town 2) Volunteers from the community, including those from Fort William Town Team, assisted our own volunteers with the welcome of the passengers and crew including one young lady who completed her Volunteering section of the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award 3) Various local businesses benefitted such as local tour guides and the Highland Liquor Company carried out whisky tasting on board one of the ships 4) Our local bus company, drivers and guides were used by the excursion companies appointed by the cruise ships to provide excursions around Lochaber 5) Visitors coming to Fort William via the Pontoons were a source of income for local crafters selling their wares in the local shops 6) Four local pipers shared the role of piping a welcome to the cruise ship passengers as they were alighting from the cruise ship tenders and transferring onto the coaches
