'Nothing choreographed' about release of key ferry document, official says

The late and over-budget Glen Sannox ferry is being built at the Ferguson Marine shipyard in Port Glasgow

THERE was “nothing choreographed” about the release of a key document in relation to the contract for two delayed and over-budget ferries, a senior Transport Scotland official has claimed.

The vessels – the Glen Sannox and the unnamed 802 – are due to be delivered next year, five years later than planned, and costing more than double the initial predictions, at around £250 million.
