Situated on the west coast of Scotland at the entrance to the Firth of Clyde, the Port of Ayr is ideally placed to serve Scotland’s industrial and agricultural lowlands. The port benefits from an excellent communications network, with motorway and rail systems providing easy access to the rest of the UK and beyond.
The port offers considerable experience in handling a wide range of cargoes, including dry bulks, forest products and scrap metal, and is also recognised as a major supply base for the offshore industry. Ayr is becoming an increasingly popular port-of-call for cruise liners, with its close proximity to some of Scotland’s best known attractions.
The Glacier Society is a non-profit 501-(c)3 Educational Foundation dedicated to the restoration and operation of the USS/USCGC Glacier in honor of all who served in the exploration of the North and South Poles.
