@SkigerstaBear9 @allanmunro36 This would appear to be because once a vessel joins their fleet they sit back and pay themselves on a job well done. Whereas shipping has always been, as you put one ship into service the next should already be in discussion with builders.

@SkigerstaBear9 CALMAC appear to be operating their maintenance schedules on a reactive as against a planned schedule. Reactive maintenance practice was dying out in the early 2000s.

Found this on a Facebook page called Common Sense & think it cancels & answers the current political correctness attitude of destroying, burying or hiding out of sight all reminders of a different time - the characters who didn’t show the proper regard for their fellow humans.

FGS. Not only incompetent yard workers, but it would appear #CALMAC representatives have not been very diligent in their oversight of the build process. Checking this late will find the fault, but not address the problem. https://t.co/mFn0O3oKAb

"The safety of our children is the most paramount thing - surely the (Tory) Member agrees?" @kaukabstewart

"No, I don't agree."

ICYMI: Exams will go ahead unless the public heath advice at the time goes against that. The opportunism from the Tories is absolutely staggering.

@YourSSE I thought the whole point of a #SmartMeter was you wouldn't get asked to give readings ... yet here we are being asked for the second time since ours was fitted. Reading submitted but really? #SomethingNotRight

@desdons Congratulations and well done!

Just been notified that a #planningapplication had been approved by @PlanHighland that was previously refused, goes against their own guidelines and against @CroftingScot recommendations.
Not to say anything nefarious is going on, but it raises more questions than it answers.
