Stena Line Not Switching

THERE IS NO possibility of Stena Line switching from Lochryan to Troon.

That was the message from the company Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bo Severed in an exclusive interview with the "Free Press".

And he gave assurances that there is what he described as "tremendous support" at the highest levels in Stena for the North Channel.

From his headquarters office in Gothenburg in Sweden, Mr Severed answered a series of questions posed by "Free Press" reporters Craig McDonald and Fraser Wilson.

He reiterated the need for improvements to both the A75 and A77 roads, speaking of the negative effect on passenger and journey times of congestion caused by poor road links.

And he said Stena would work with relevant agencies to ensure that Stranraer Port would be used to its best potential.
