Clyde and Hebrides ferry contract extension

"We welcome the extension of the current contract by the Scottish Government.

"CalMac is full of dedicated people who are passionate about delivering a reliable service for island communities. With six new major vessels due to join the fleet by 2026 and significant infrastructure upgrades at numerous ports and harbours underway or planned, we are confident that lifeline ferry services will continue to improve. During the extension period, we will be working hard to provide certainty and reliability, and listening closely to the views of local people who rely on our services most."
