How can a basic ferry be 5 years behind schedule to build? The Titanic took 2 years to build, with whatever old technology they had at the time, yet in this day and age it seems to be beyond them.
Yet, a member of my stepfather’s family said the problem is, “they are not basic”.
The islanders want a bog standard, proven tec vessel, yet the Greens / SNP insist on an over complicated version, full crew to tie up /cast off (hard to beleive in this day apparently ) a 50 minute crossing so must have full catering facilities (!) plus full accommodation for overnight crew - £37,000 for a deck hand on 22 weeks a YEAR.
Crazy stuff.
