The shipyard building the new £48.5 million Arran ferry is in talks with the customer over a new delivery date.
As exclusively revealed in last week’s Banner, the MV Glen Sannox is seriously behind schedule at the Ferguson Marine yard on the Clyde where it is being built for Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) for use on the Brodick to Ardrossan route.
CMAL chief exectutive Kevin Hobbs said that resources at the shipyard had been ‘significantly below expectations’ and said he did not believe the present delivery date, of winter 2018/2019, could be met.
