Greene comments on fresh 6-month ferry delay

Responding to the news that the Glen Rosa has been delayed by another six months and won't now be delivered until late 2026, West Scotland MSP and Scottish Liberal Democrat transport spokesperson Jamie Greene said:

"The SNP's ferries fiasco just goes on and on. This fresh delay means it's now going to take more than 10 years to build this ferry, at goodness knows what cost, yet no SNP minister has ever had the decency to resign.

"It's a cynical move by yard bosses to sneak out this information now, when SNP ministers can't be called to answer questions on it at Holyrood until January.

"Scottish Liberal Democrats will get Scotland moving again. We will end the SNP's ferries fiasco for good through a new Ferries Bill that guarantees vessels are replaced in time, give islanders a real say on how their ferries are run, and properly compensate impacted businesses being ignored by the SNP.

"Islanders, taxpayers and shipyard workers deserve better, and with the Scottish Liberal Democrats you can vote for it."
