The long-awaited MV Glen Sannox has finally been delivered from Ferguson shipyard to CalMac, seven years after its launch. The ferry, the first large vessel built for Scotland’s west coast in nearly a decade, faced numerous delays and escalating costs, initially planned at £97 million but rising to over £400 million. With crew trials scheduled before its first passenger journey in January, the delivery signifies an end to a lengthy political and logistical struggle impacting Scotland’s island communities.
