Current status: Answered by Fiona Hyslop on 2 February 2024
To ask the Scottish Government, for each vessel in the CalMac fleet, how many days each vessel has been out of service or unable to operate in each of the last five years because of (a) bad weather and (b) non-weather-related reasons.
CalMac Ferries Limited are unable to provide the information requested as the data is not held in this format. CalMac do not measure vessels outage in days, as many technical issues are resolved in a number of hours.
I have provided reference to a previous Parliamentary Question S6W-15774 on 29 March 2023 with accompanying Bib number 64075, showing all weather related cancellation per vessel for the last 10 years.
