Montrose Port Authority lands £1.5m Scottish Government grant (May 29th).More freight will be taken off Scotland’s roads and transported by sea thanks to a £1.5m Ports Mode Shift Grant from the Scottish Government to Montrose Port Authority (MPA).The money will be added to a £5.9m investment by MPA to introduce a series of improvements which will allow larger cargo vessels to dock at the port.Over a five-year period, it is expected the move will deliver environmental benefits worth £5.2m through the removal of 1.26m tonnes of freight from our roads and 86,000 HGV lorry journeys in the process.
