To ask the Scottish Government what is the annual subsidy requirement associated with providing CalMac’s Gourock to Dunoon ferry service in each year since 2024.
The Scottish Government does not hold this information. Funding is allocated to CalMac on an annual basis in connection with the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services (CHFS) contract, however this is not broken down by route. Funding provided by the Scottish Government for CHFS services is included in the relevant Section 70 report, which are available online: Section 70 Grant Payments In accordance with: Transport (Scotland) Act 2001 Section 70(4) Financial Year 2024-25; Transport Scotland Section 70 Return - 2025-26 | Transport Scotland.
