proposed works. The consultation
confrmed that the site was within

Scientifc Interest (SSSI), a Special
Area of Conservation (SAC), and

designation, NLB appointed
specialist consultancy, Echoes
Ecology, to carry out an Ecological
Impact Assessment of the site. The
area surrounding the proposed
site was found to provide ideal
habitat for otters. Following
this discovery, Echoes Ecology
produced a Species Protection Plan
and a mitigation strategy to ensure
any negative impact to wildlife

by the works, was reduced to a

strong tidal streams and at least
23 course alterations along the
route. The area around Portain is
extremely hazardous with little
margin for error, particularly on a

Following the grounding of the MV
Loch Portain near Portain Buoy in
October 2015, a navigational risk
assessment was carried out by
Marine & Risk Consultants Ltd on
behalf of Caledonian MacBrayne
Ferries Ltd. The risk assessment
determined that despite the
recognised passage being well
considered, well-marked and very
competently executed by highly
experienced and qualifed masters

replace the Portain Buoy to give a
constant visual reference of where
