The ferry provides a regular service 7 days a week and takes 5 minutes. The Corran Ferry is based at Ardgour approximately seven miles south of Fort William. The ferry provides a lifeline connection across Loch Linnhe at the Corran Narrows, connecting the Ardgour peninsula in the west with the wider Lochaber region to the east, and beyond. The Highland Council are responsible for operating the Corran Ferry service, which is the busiest single vessel route in Europe, taking just 5 minutes to make the approximately 400m crossing, and carrying approximately 270,000 cars and 11,000 commercial vehicles and buses per year Road based diversion can be up to 2 hours and involves navigating single track roads with limited access for the largest of commercial vehicles due to bridge height restrictions.
