Clyde Docks Preservation Initiative (CDPI) have launched a consultation and research process looking at the potential to develop a passenger and light-freight water transport corridor on the River and Firth of Clyde - potentially linking the West Coast into the heart of Glasgow with fast catamarans and hydrofoils.

The aim is to look at how markets for these services can be created and how transportation can be moved off roads and onto the water. What kind of infrastructure is needed? What kind of vessels are suitable? How could communities benefit? Could it boost tourism? These are just some of the questions CDPI aims to answer, with broad input from stakeholders, communities and experts.
