TheMantis 1,621 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 The Ferguson's yard at Port Glasgow, closed with the unfinished hulk of the Calmac ferry after the ongoing SG fiasco. The other boat had been moved along to Greenock the previous day but I didn't know that at the time. Two Calmac operated boats, the Ali Cat (Gourock to Dunoon) and the Chieftain (Gourock to Kilchreggan). Link to post Share on other sites

The Ferguson one is a bit of an embarrassment far too many people getting involved that know nothing about ferries they should have come on here for advice That's another place I must go back to once this Covid is all over hopefully.
