ATTRACTING cruise ships to Fort William will boost the local ecomony.
That’s the conclusion of a Fort William Marine and Shoreline Company (FWMSC) report following the visit of the Boudicca on September 28.
The Fred Olsen vessel anchored in Loch Linnhe, off Fort William, at 6am and remained there until about 4pm. On board were 808 passengers and approximately 400 crew. Passengers made use of new pontoons purpose built for their arrival thanks to the efforts of FWMSC.
