The Arran Civic Trust is to host a talk from the designer of the new CalMac ferry, which is destined for the Arran run, at its next meeting.
The ship’s designer, James Anderson, director of vessels at CMAL, will describe and illustrate the process of designing and building the ferry to a strict brief. In his talk Mr Anderson will answer questions on the ship’s accommodation, speed, manoeuvrability and sea-going qualities, accompanied by photographs of the build progress to date.
The ship, named the MV Glen Sannox, which is still being built in Port Glasgow’s Ferguson yard, is due to enter service in 2019.
