@itvnews: As Scottish voters head to the polls next month, those on the islands will be keenly aware of one crisis dominating the polical agenda, ferries. Services to the Outer and Inner Hebrides have been particularly affected with eight major vessels out of action last week. It’s an issue that has worsend over the last decade. In 2015, there were 6,822 service cancellations, while in 2025 there was more than 13,000 with more than half due to to technical problems. #Scotland #holyrood #ferry
looks like we might have to cancel our Scotland holiday to the islands this summer if we cant get a ferry.

The Isle of Lewis ferry has been sitting in Aberdeen harbour for over a month. Why? It was slightly damaged in dry dock. This all stinks of a scandal if your asking me

I hate that their longest route from Oban to Barra never has the boat it’s supposed to because it’s constantly off filling in for other broken boats

At least interview people who are from the island, Calmac is a lifeline service for those who live on the island not for people visiting

From the start of the Scottish Parliment to 2011 (Tory & Labour controlled) contracts were awarded for 5 ferries to be built. Since @The SNP took over, 17 contracts were awarded in 15 years. It looks like SNP have done considerably more than the Tories & Labour combined.
