FERRY FIASCO: Scandal-hit shipyard boss blasted for WAFFLING over further delays

Fergusoon Marine boss, Andrew Miller, was accused of repeatedly dodging questions in a “farcical” exchange in Holyrood over the Glen Rosa.
And chief exec John Petticrew eventually admitted there was a “risk” of another delay.
The pair’s appearance before a committee of MSPs came after reports that 16 parts from the Glen Rosa - including a starter motor and various pumps - were stripped from the ship and used for the Glen Sannox.
And Tory MSP Graham Simpson blasted Mr Miller for “waffle” for dodging a question on when the Glen Rosa would be finished.

Blah blah blah, I have a friend at the shipyard, he told me August 2026 at the earliest, they striped Rosa to finish sannox, incompetent just doesn't fit it.

[@peteryates1208]

And within five days of the GS going into service the bow door stopped working. Not even a plan for a spade in the ground at Ardrossan yet so running a reduced service out of Troon and only one ferry on the route during half term. These people couldn't run a pea soup in a brewery.

Oh dear, your friend will be in trouble, will lose his employment, £10,000 fine and 2 years in prison for telling others what is going on.
