Hunterston Terminal

Hunterston Terminal, in North Ayrshire, Scotland, is a coal-handling port located at Fairlie on the Firth of Clyde, and operated by The Peel Group. It lies adjacent to Hunterston estate, site of Hunterston Castle.
The port, completed in 1979, was originally called Hunterston Ore Terminal and was intended to handle iron ore for British Steel's Ravenscraig steelworks. Existing facilities at General Terminus Quay on the upper River Clyde were unsuitable for increasingly large vessels, but Hunterston, with its jetty, is able to handle modern ships of any size.
==History==
The new port at Hunterston replaced facilities at General Terminus Quay (now Springfield Quay), on the River Clyde, near the centre of Glasgow.〔Campbell, R.H. ''Iron and Steel''. Chapter 5 in: Cunnison and Gilfillan (1958).〕 These facilities had been designed in the early 1950s to allow the simultaneous unloading of two large ships carrying bulk iron ore.〔 The ships were designed to carry 12,000 tons (12,200 metric tonnes) of iron ore.〔Sleeman (1958). ''The Present System: The Port of Glasgow To-day''. In Chapter 10 of: Cunnison & Gilfillan (1958).〕 Iron ore was to be transported, in railway waggons, via the General Terminus and Glasgow Harbour Railway, from the General Terminus Quay to the new Ravenscraig steelworks which opened in the late 1950s.
