The bleak picture is that Ardrossan will be shut for almost 2 years if ever the upgrade goes ahead. How ironic that the only ferry operating is Alfred. Ordered after the Ferguson fiascoes, costing just £14m, uses 60+% LESS fuel than traditional ferries, needs half the crew and can operate in worse weather. Nobody in the Scottish Government wiill ever admit their crass stupidity in ordering bespoke ferries from a company with no experience of LNG, while their Polish competitor had built 7! Alfred is a well tested, standard catamaran design, being churned out as a 2 year build , in yards world wide, just never in Scotland.
None of them can agree on the necessary upgrade of Ardrossan Harbour. Bet they will shut down Ardrossan and move it permanently to Troon. Ardrossan has nothing going for it and they'll take this away too.
That's very unfair. They've only had 17 years to screw up the whole CalMac operation, after all, that's how long it takes to build a couple of ferries in snp-la-la-land.

Well said Jaimie Green - thank you for standing up for your local constituents in Ayrshire and the islanders beyond. What a mess the SNP have made of this situation for years and years, remember this islanders when you vote.
The way she said "is a challenge" was so patronising & condescending it's unbelievable..its peoples lives that r being ruined by this fiasco,.."a challenge" is fitting all ur luggage into ur car...not being stranded on an island with no way of getting off it!..
Both the SNP and CALMAC are the epitomes of incompetence. Where are the new obscenely over budget ferries ? There is a worldwide surplus of vessels of all shapes and sizes being scrapped prematurely, there must be some suitable vessels amongst them. Why are crews being paid to twiddle their thumbs waiting for vessels that are only part constructed and won't be avaijable for years ?
A parliament based in Edinburgh which doesn't give a monkeys about West coast ferries to islanders. New ferries for Arran delayed because of fixation of using LNG fuel to keep their previous Green cosy up situation. Appalling incompetence!
From what ive seen its a fixation with all sorts of sexual shenanigans and grubby little money grabbers , somebody should make a snp t shirt ..... " I stuck with the cult for 16 years & all I got was a baby box " .....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤮🤮🤮
This is the silly woman that gave (no doubt at great expense) every teacher a thick green folder about curriculum for excellence that actually told us absolutely zero about what we actually had to teach the kids for s4 & s5 pupils for exams .
She talks about ensuring a sensible approach to makkng sure there are suffucient ferries to cover for breakdowns/dry docking, but the SNP never do sensible, so that wont happen!!!
When the Glen Sannox comes into service, will it comply with the actual specification requested by the government when the contract was signed, because this matter was raised during a previous treasury committee meeting with the ferry company/builders?
what islanders exactly ?, making generalised statements is not smart, I don't know a single west coast islander that voted SNP, they have wrecked the economy for many West coast islanders from Crofters to Fishermen to Hoteliers and small niche businesses that rely on seasonal tourism to bring in enough money to make their business profitable. You must think islanders button up the back which is pretty insulting.
Firstly, Ardrossans' economy gets little support from Arran, it's only people and vehicles passing thro'. Secondly, a political decision was made years ago that the Ardrossan ferry would be moved to Troon for good.
Second is not true. There was a campaign by the A - Bers (Ardrossan to Brodick) to keep Ardrossan as the mainland port. The ferry will only sail out of Troon when (if?) Ardrossan is being redeveloped so the Glen Sannox can use it.
From the south of the uk, yet again politicians talk a lot, but do not deliver. Do not let go but bring this up with daily updates. It will then appear via you tube. Take a lesson from the bible account about the “unjust judge”. The widow did not give up!
