After all the mismanagement issues during construction, both ships look amazing which is testament to the workforce at Ferguson Marine, and of course, to the Scottish National Party, in particular to the courage shown by Nicola sturgeon for having the foresight to step in and save the yard from closure, when others in authority stood by and did nothing. Well done to one and all.

Giving more money to Nikla's Ferguson project is madness. Billions of pounds have been washed down the Clyde already, when you include lost tourism opportunities, replacement ferry hire, foreign welders and alternative travel costs to name but a few.... The yard could well go burst before new burning, plating/bending facilities are built. These could have been put in place several years ago when new facilities were invested in...... Bungle after bungle will continue with a wee lassie in charge who knows nothing about how the industry and it's workforce behave!

The Americans put a man on the moon in the same time as the SNP commissioned, launched, messed around and............................???? this ship.

Surprised it didn’t sink with all the rust inside. But it’s not something to be proud of a ferry that’s five years over term and 100’s of millions over budget and let’s face it if you were wanting a ship built you’d stay a million miles away from Fergusson Marine what a blight on the Scottish taxpayer and hopefully it’ll be shut down soon to save us all paying to keep it open

How are we not celebrating this. I am not SNP or Yes voter, but this is great for the Port and Greenock community. For the Clyde, and for Scottish shipbuilding. Same with the new huge Navy ship building Hall . Being built in Govan. Plus the massive yard in Rosyth.

Some people are remarkably delusional. Years late and many times over budget. Now watch it be totally unreliable when it goes into service! Meanwhile in Turkey additional ferries for Calmac are being built on schedule and on budget. Speaks volumes about how the UK is already a second world country, soon to be third world and irrelevant.

After being saved from closure in 2019 by the Scottish government. Unlike many other shipyards in the UK that have closed. Ferguson marine the last shipbuilding yard on the lower Clyde is still open and employing 400 people in Inverclyde. Ferguson marine still has some work with Glen Rosa, it also has some work from the ministry of defence. Ferguson marine and the Unions are lobbying for the Scottish government to give Ferguson marine the contract for ten smaller ferries that the Scottish government is going to order.

Most people have no idea , as an employee of Fergusons for the past 6 years i can tell you now the workforce has it in them to produce . The finances are well documented as we all know but yesterday was a proud moment for all involved . The yard provides a good standard of living for residents of Inverclyde such as myself and hopefully for many generations to come.

@JimGDMAC 6 ай бұрын
She was launched with a lot of internal fitting out still to do which will add quite a bit of weight bringing it down to the waterline. The launch weight has to be kept down to the minimum to allow her to move more easily down the slipway, too much weight would possibly stop her moving needing a push by hysdraulic rams to get her in the water.

The ferries are late and over budget, but in that time we had covid, the torys crashing the economy and, as anyone in the engineering sector knows, eye watering raw material price rises. Thisis ultimately what success looks like. These guys have worked through the tough times, they haven't given in to uk media daily onslaught, they havent closed the doors. Theyard is still there and Scotland nowhas two working ferries. Lessons will be learned and going forward it would be great to see these contracts being kept on these shores. The torys and labour would have xlosed this yard, then what would Scotland have?
