Responding to Audit Scotland’s report on Ferguson Marine, which states that “there is still no certainty” over costs, delays and the viability of the shipyard’s future, as well as criticising bonus payments to Ferguson’s senior management, Scottish Liberal Democrat economy spokesperson Willie Rennie MSP said:    

“This Audit Scotland report into Ferguson Marine is just unbelievable.  

“Big bonuses for ships that still aren’t ready. No clear understanding about when these ferries will be complete and what the final bill will be.  

“This is all under the direct control of the SNP Government. We were promised the nationalised service was going to be so different, we were promised that these ferries were now on track, we were promised that the financial bill would be brought under control. All of that is complete and utter nonsense.  

“This is a dreadful report and we need an urgent statement from ministers to explain what on earth has gone wrong.”
