“MANAGEMENT and build errors” meant the two overdue ferries at Ferguson Marine ended up costing an extra £90 million, the chief executive of the shipyard has said.
This included the decision under the yard’s previous management to build a “largely empty ship” on the slipway rather than assembling modules under cover.
The current cost of the two vessels in Port Glasgow: the Glen Sannox and the unnamed hull 802; is estimated to be £277m, though this could rise further in the new year.
