Port of Cairnryan

Harbour Information, Terminals and Facilities
(Cairnryan, Wigtownshire, Scotland, UK)




Due to a four and a half million pound investment from P&O Irish Sea Ferries, the Port of Cairnryan now has very good facilities for both freight shipments and passengers. The port is located in southwest Scotland, on Loch Ryan's northern edge.

The new P&O terminal provides improved check-in facilities and a large reception lounge. Other new or upgraded facilities include a children's play area, baby-changing area, disabled facilities and a shop and a snack bar.


Cairnryan is a small village overlooking Lochryan and the town has a significant maritime history. During WWII, the village served as a principal military port and the army built three harbour piers and a railway connecting the village with nearby Stranraer.
