Ferguson missing out on ferries order “hangover” from SNP fiasco

Responding to the news that the Scottish Government-owned Ferguson shipyard has missed out on a crucial order for seven small all-electric ferries for west coast operator Caledonian MacBrayne, Scottish Liberal Democrat economy spokesperson Willie Rennie MSP said:

“This is the hangover from the SNP’s ferries fiasco.

“Every blunder by SNP ministers has made it harder to protect jobs and secure the yard’s future.

“After doing so much damage to Scotland’s reputation for shipbuilding, someone in this SNP Government must finally carry the can.”
