Glen Rosa, the second of two dual fuel ferries being built by Ferguson Marine (Port Glasgow) Ltd, has been moved to dry dock marking a significant step towards its completion.
The vessel, bound for the Arran route of the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Service operated by CalMac is due to be delivered to Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) next year.
The dry dock period, which will take place at Dales Marine Services’ facility in Greenock, will enable Ferguson Marine to carry out essential maintenance, repairs and inspections.
The package of planned work includes rudder and stabiliser inspections, welding work to the bow clam doors and painting repairs.
The news comes just after Ferguson Marine announced that it has signed a contract with BAE Systems to build three structural components for HMS Birmingham as part of the Type 26 programme
