Ayr & Troon are Scotland's premier log-handling ports, with over 200,000 tonnes throughput expected in 2002. Much of this tonnage is shipped by ABP's Timberlink project, an environmental initiative to reduce timber movements by road and increase the use of sea transport. This project has been a great success, removing over 2 million lorry miles in under 2 years. These logs originate from Kintyre, Argyll, Skye and the Highlands.
