A FURTHER delay to one of the overdue ferries at Ferguson Marine has been revealed by the Port Glasgow yard’s interim chief executive.Ferguson's recently appointed new boss John Petticrew said that the nationalised yard has now set a deadline of July 31 for the handover of Glen Sannox, which is two months later than the previous target.
'An underestimation of complexity, the degree of difficulty of the installation, the lack of available expert knowledge and qualified resources in the UK in relation to marine LNG systems, has disappointingly contributed to further slippage in the progress that we have been able to make in the last few weeks, and consequently our previously proposed schedule.
The ultimate aim is to have the LNG and remaining non-LNG-related work on the vessel completed in time for it to be signed off at the end of July.
