Ferguson Marine reports the Glen Rosa has left dry dock ahead of schedule and is moving toward sea trials; costs are now estimated at £197.5m, with service hoped in 2027. The yard emphasises progress on “modern Clydebuilt standards.”
Several vessels were involved in emergencies off Scotland’s west coast over two days. A man overboard and a bomb threat led to evacuations at Ardrossan harbour on the MV Caledonian Isles, with 329 people disembarking and a police search. Latest updates indicate ongoing safety protocols and cancellations of remaining sailings.
