FERRY FIASCO: Shipyard chiefs struggle to explain why faulty anchor wasn't spotted sooner

The long-awaited Glen Sannox ferry still needs a permanent solution to a problem with its anchor system, with managers at the Ferguson Marine shipyard saying it is “very disappointing” the issue was not spotted earlier.
The ferry was handed over to the government agency CMAL last week after several years of construction delays at the Port Glasgow shipyard.
MSPs have now heard that Glen Sannox will receive a long-term fix to its anchor system in the coming weeks.
Holyrood’s Transport Committee was also told that Ferguson Marine is struggling to find a permanent chief executive officer, with interim CEO John Petticrew’s contract being extended to Easter next year.
Mr Petticrew and others gave evidence to the committee on Tuesday.
