MV Glen Sannox ferry blackout during sea trials due to fire detector activation, causing main propulsion system shutdown.
The MV Glen Sannox ferry experienced a blackout during sea trials on October 2 due to an accidental fire detector activation, causing a shutdown of its main propulsion system. The vessel's automatic identification system was undetectable for about an hour. It returned to Inchgreen Dry Dock for assessments. Originally scheduled for delivery in 2018, the ferry's handover to the Scottish Government remains uncertain amid ongoing technical issues.
