To ask the Scottish Government when the Minister for Transport will next meet Ferguson Marine, including its senior management and other staff, to discuss the delivery of the ferries for the CalMac fleet that are currently being built.
The Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Economy has responsibility for Ferguson Marine and the vessels under construction there. I am aware that the Cabinet Secretary currently meets with the yards management on a fortnightly basis to discuss progress, as well as receiving detailed monthly reports.
I currently have no plans to meet with the senior management team at Ferguson Marine in the near future, however I maintain an active interest in the progress at the yard and receive regular reports as a matter of course.
