MSP WELCOMES SHORTLIST FOR GOUROCK-DUNOON FERRY SERVICE
Stuart McMillan MSP has today welcomed the news from the Scottish Government that four companies have been short listed to deliver the Gourock-Dunoon ferry service for the next six years.
The companies are: Cowal Ferries Ltd; Western Ferries (Clyde) Ltd; Clyde Marine Services Ltd; and Highland Universal Securities
Mr McMillan, SNP MSP for the West of Scotland, said:
"I welcome the news from the Scottish Government that four companies have been shortlisted to take on the Gourock-Dunoon ferry service for the next six years.
"It's good to see healthy competition for this route.
"This should see a better deal for the Gourock and Dunoon communities as well as the passengers who will use the route.
"I believe one key aspect of the route will be the staffing arrangements and what will happen to the existing staff at both Gourock and Dunoon. This information is particularly important with regard to Gourock, as it is the main Cal Mac headquarters with many more staff.
"Therefore, I am keen to hear more information about the tendering process and what it means for those staff currently employed by Cal Mac."
