The routes chosen to be examined during this project are all within the small ferry route specification and fall within the cross border area covered under the EU programme.
The routes being studied will include:

• Alt an Chorrain to Leab Gharbn, Arainn Mor
• Alt an Chorrain to Toraigh
• Ballycastle to Rathlin
• Tarbert to Portavadie
• Gigha to Tayinloan
• Oban to Lismore
• Tobermory to Kilchoan
• Sconser to Raasay

In addition to the 8 routes already outlined which fall within the supported area we would anticipate that the outcomes from the project would have a far wider reach and benefit.  Already there have been discussions with councils in Scotland that have a requirement to replace their small ferries on the West Coast of Scotland,  and also further potential in Ireland where for example, the following routes could benefit from this project;

• Ros an Mhíl to Árainn
• Ros an Mhíl to Inis Meáin /Inis Oírr
• Roonagh to Clare Island / Inishturk
• Castletownbere to Bere Island
• Pontoon to Bere Island
