@Simon_MUK @CSR_MM @MaritimeUK @Mersey_Maritime @transportgovuk Looking good gents. Look forward to seeing you both soon. 👍

Great to see the team out volunteering. Also a great charity @OYTScotland worth supporting.

[CMAL @CMAssets]

Last week Chris, Edward, Paul & Chris from CMAL spent the day volunteering with local charity @OYTScotland supporting drydock works. OYT runs residential voyages at sea, & land-based activities like orienteering & crate climbing to young people in local communities.

Thanks for sharing @MaritimePhotos! MV Loch Frisa is approaching her first Scottish winter and by all accounts is coping well with the conditions.

Phase 1 of the project to upgrade Tarbert (Harris) ferry terminal has received the @CECA_Scotland award for Marine Infrastructure. Completed in Feb 22, this phase delivered the new pier, fendering system, dredging & increased marshalling area.

Our Chief Executive Kevin Hobbs has said of the investment: "This is a highly welcome commitment from the Scottish Government, which allows us to increase the pace of vessel replacement plans in line with our ambitions."
