Re: Scottish ferries
James, problem lies with the Scottish Govermement an CMAL
From what I have read the shipyard tried it's hardest but CMAL refused to communicate with the shipyard.

Re: Scottish ferries
Typical journalist, starts off Greenock landmark, then makes another by error by stating Kingston Yard, Port Glasgow.
The Golaith crane was in the Glen Yard of Scott Lithgow, Port Glasgow.
