Rennie comments on six month delay to Ferguson ferry sea trials
23 Aug 2023
Responding to the news that the two CalMac ferries being built at Ferguson shipyard face further delays after safety regulators demanded design changes which will mean planned sea trials of the Glen Sannox are delayed until the first quarter of next year, Scottish Liberal Democrat Willie Rennie said:
"Almost six years after Nicola Sturgeon held a fake boat launch complete with painted on windows, these boats are still needing design changes before sea trials can get underway.
"Islanders, taxpayers and shipyard workers have been hung out to dry by an incompetent government.
"Ministers should be compensating people for the mayhem they have caused."
