James Anderson, director of vessels at CMAL with civic trust chairman John Inglis.
Arran Civic Trust members and guests enjoyed an informative talk about CMAL’s newest vessel, the MV Glen Sannox, writes Sally Campbell.
An audience of 50 people turned up for the presentation by James Anderson, director of vessels and the ship’s architect Lewis Hammell, from CMAL. The new ship, being built at Ferguson’s Yard in Port Glasgow and launched last November, is now being fitted out. James explained the reasoning behind the challenge to both meet the increasing demand on the Brodick to Ardrossan route, due in part to RET, as well as to be a more fuel- efficient vessel with new technologies on board to ensure reliability. It was a fascinating illustrated talk, with enthusiastic and informed presentations from both James and Lewis.
