Timber felled in Argyll is to be moved by sea instead of by roadOver the next three years, about 225,000 tonnes is to be shippedThousands of tonnes of timber felled in Argyll forests are to be transported by sea instead of by road under a new £2.6m deal.
Scottish Forestry said over the next three years about 225,000 tonnes would be shipped across the Firth of Clyde to wood processors in Ayrshire. The Scottish government agency said the move would save about 2.2 million lorry miles - including 9,750 fewer lorry trips via the A82 - and prevent the release of almost 4,000 tonnes of harmful CO2 emissions.Timber will be shipped from ports at Ardrishaig, Campbeltown and Sandbank to Troon and Ayr.From other local news sites
