To ask the Scottish Government what recent discussions it has had with CalMac regarding reported staffing pressures on the Arran ferry routes.
Transport Scotland officials engage regularly with CalMac and cover a range of operational topics including staff and crew not only for the Arran Ferry services but the whole of the Clyde & Hebrides Ferry Services network. I recently met with representatives of CalMac’s senior management team and discussed a range of issues including the Arran service.
