Case Studies
This is the new eye-catching passenger waiting shelter Falco designed and installed for Mallaig Harbour Authority on the west coast of the Highlands of Scotland. This is now the third shelter Falco has delivered to Mallaig Harbour, with another popular 5m x 2.3m FalcoHub shelter to match the previous two delivered to the Ferry terminal area.
The shelter was installed earlier in May and features distinctive nautical branding and graphics with powder coating in a marine blue as well as internal seating. The shelter has been installed adjacent to the CalMac Ferry ticket office and provides passengers on the Tarbet Ferry route with full weather coverage whilst waiting for arrivals and departures.
The bespoke passenger waiting shelter was manufactured in our own ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental) accredited manufacturing facility in accordance with the UK CPR regulations (EN1090) being is CE Marked accordingly and is ready to withstand the traditional Scottish weather!
The programme focused on the rollout of bespoke passenger waiting shelters and cycle parking at ports on the CalMac ferries network.
Falco has now delivered installations at over 20 CalMac Ferry Terminals across the Scottish coast with ports including Mallaig (shown here), Kilchoan, Tayinloan, Campbeltown, Craignure, Gigha and Rhubodach.
The project focused on improving the customer facilities for new cycle, waiting and ticket validation shelters. With cycle tourism numbers increasing at such locations, there was a real need to improve facilities for these passengers and CalMac partnered with Falco to help achieve their goal.
