MV Glen Sannox sails under its own power for the first time, eight years after construction began.
A CalMac ferry being built at Ferguson shipyard on the Clyde has sailed under its own power for the first time, eight years after construction began.The ship and its sister vessel Glen Rosa were due to be finished in 2018, but the project has been plagued by design and construction issues.The ship was tethered to a tug for safety as it left the quayside at the Port Glasgow shipyard where it has been moored since it was launched by then first minister Nicola Sturgeon in 2017.
"She sounded her horn and began the first in a series of rigorous sea trials. We began with the anchor and moved onto propulsion and manoeuvring tests. This will continue for the rest of the week. Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced the award of the ferries contract to Ferguson Marine in August 2015
CMAL has rejected the criticism, claiming the problems arose because of "catastrophic" contractor failure in what was a "design and build" contract.
