New CalMac ferry Glen Sannox booked in for snagging repairs

Advertisements

A problem with the retrieval mechanism for the emergency anchors was identified during the ship’s final approval trials by regulators, but a temporary solution was agreed so that the ship could enter service in January.

Replacement parts have now arrived, and these will be fitted at Inchgreen, just a short distance downriver from the Ferguson shipyard which is still building an identical sister vessel, Glen Rosa.

The 41-year-old MV Isle of Arran, which will provide cover for Glen Sannox, is also a Ferguson-built ship.

Nicknamed “The Auld Trooper” by ferry users because of its longevity, the ship is currently operating between Oban and Craignure on the Isle of Mull.
