Waiting game
It is disappointing in the extreme to learn that there are significant delays to the new Arran ferry, the MV Glen Sannox. There has been rumblings for months concerning progress, but nothing concrete. The Banner waited three weeks after asking for an update from CMAL.
Now, it is clear why. The £48.5 million ferry is way behind schedule because of slow progress at the Ferguson’s shipyard where it is being built. That is really disappointing, too, given the delight when it was announced that the new vessel was to be Clyde-built.
