This is the third time that the MV Hebridean Isles has been withdrawn from service for repairs in the last ten months.
In September 2021 it had a hole in its hull resulting in it being withdrawn from service for two weeks. Last month its bow thruster failed resulting in it being out of action for several sailings and now it is out of action again.
Goodness knows how Nicola Sturgeon thinks that she can run an independent Scotland when she cannot run the Scottish Government owned Calmac ferry service thanks to her government starving CMAL of funds for new ferries for a number of years until she arranged for Fergusons shipyard to build to new ferries which are now five years late and hundreds of millions of pounds over budget.
Yet another SNP controlled Scottish Government shambles.
Totally agree. Why was she maintaining ferries??I bet she can't even weld properly.....
