Buoyed by the inauguration of its state-of-the-art £20 million visitor centre, Scotland’s Greenock Ocean Terminal is set to embark on another prosperous cruise season.

A plot of land which once formed part of the former Tate & Lyle sugar refinery in Greenock is being proposed as a new £15 million 46-home private housing development by Sandy and James Easdale, the owners of Easdale Investment Group.

Semiconductor manufacturer Diodes Incorporated has received a £13.7 million funding package from Scottish Enterprise towards a £47m project enabling its future growth in Greenock. The grant was announced yesterday by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
