To ask the Scottish Government how much has been spent on repairs to the entire CalMac fleet in each calendar year since 2018.
We recognise the key role that ferry services play in supporting the economic, social and cultural development of island and remote mainland communities. We continue to invest in maintenance of the current ferry fleet, alongside our programme of new build and port investments.
The maintenance costs for the CalMac fleet in the period of the request are as follows.
Contract Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Oct 16-Sept 17 | Oct 17-Sept 18 | Oct 18-Sept 19 | Oct 19-Sept 20 | Oct 20-Sept 21 | |
£’000 | £’000 | £’000 | £’000 | £’000 | |
TOTAL | 14,063 | 18,254 | 15,723 | 18,359 | 17,262 |
The figures include all maintenance and repair costs including costs of annual dry-docks from the year 2018.
