Very good! looks as if the boat will be able to berth in ALL( ?) weathers, judging by this demo. Wonder if they have tried loading vehicles on yet? OR. Am I being a bit fussy? How about giving it a go on December 30 -31? The forecast looks interesting, so should be a good test. It looks a lovely boat though. Hope it works out.
A good looking vessel. Just pity about her final cost & delays as being dual fuel was a complete waste of time & effort. If it was such a good idea why are the new build Turkish ferries only using efficient diesel engines & not LNG? Possibly ask the SNP government why?
Hi Dave just left Troon in bow first then did a pirouette in the swing ground and heading to Arran just now.Its a lovely looking vessel but the ridiculous over spend still needs answers
fingers crossed, now she's entering service, she is trouble free. I really do love our ferries, having been a user before I was able to walk. Hopefully we'll get more investment in our services in the coming years. Fingers crossed too that the Campbeltown service will resume this coming year again.
One of the joys of privatised ownership. Peel Ports have made millions in berthing fees from CalMac over the years but have stubbornly refused to reinvest that money in a much needed modernisation. Alfred would still have been operating from Ardrossan if the Irish Berth had been properly maintained.

I'll have to toss a coin as it would be easier from Troon but my heart would love to see the Caledonian Isles again.
I wonder what will be the usual method of berthing the ship at Brodick , stern into the berth perhaps ?
Time calmac was privatised it would be nice to see
That’s working well for the privatised harbour
Not looking good for Ardrossan. Arguing over who pays to fix thr harbour and nobody is going to blink first unless forced.

Private ownership has been such a success for Ferguson Marine.@@paulheenan9098
Take sometime from launch to service
They actually build the Titan Quicker tax payers hit with a massive bill for incompetence all round 🤫
is the side of the ship meant to look like a golf balls surface,looks bad for a new vessel.
‘M’ stop saying M. You M say M, M continuously M. May I suggest you make and read from a script’M’.
Mmm, might do...mmm might not 😁
