  5. Hard Questions • Are there better options? • Are the savings from switching Ports enough to justify the investment? • Is the business regular in volume? • Is the market going to alter? • Are there fringe benefits? • Does the Project have a sensible payback?

  6. Look into the Future Does it start to make sense now?

  7. Freight Facilities Grants • Somewhat technical and onerous process, but… • Very helpful and willing people in Transport Scotland • Give them the facts to help them make the right decision • Prove that the Environmental Benefit is real • Demonstrate that it is long term

  8. We achieved the Grant, the plan now makes sense.Now get on with it!

  9. Pitfalls along the way • Planning Permission • Other Permissions • Local concerns • Hidden costs with ships • Commodity price increases • Unforeseen delays • The weather!

  10. But the advantages win • Environmental Benefit • Consistent consignments • Protection against haulage cost increases • Long term business foundation • Unforeseen opportunities due to the weather!
