One of the delayed ferries being built at Ferguson shipyard performs well under its own power for the first time.
One of the delayed ferries being built at Ferguson shipyard has successfully completed the first stage of its sea trials.
The nationalised firm said the speeds achieved confirmed the ship would be able to operate as required on the Arran route this summer.Staff from marine firm Lloyds Register were on board for some of the trials, monitoring technical standards. The contract requires it to be able to reach 16.5 knots, and that will be assessed during "owner's trials" later in the year.
In April and May, Glen Sannox will also undergo endurance tests - when it will operate at higher speeds for longer periods of time. Glen Sannox will eventually be able to run on either conventional marine diesel or liquefied natural gas but the gas systems have not yet been commissioned due to a delay in obtaining essential parts.
