The Glen Rosa ferry delay to 2026–2027 due to corrosion, adding to years of setbacks and costing £460M.
The MV Glen Rosa ferry, built by Ferguson Marine in Scotland, faces another delay, with delivery now expected in late 2026 or early 2027 due to hull coating deterioration and corrosion found during a drydock inspection in August.
The delay follows years of setbacks, including design flaws and prior scheduling issues, pushing the vessel’s entry into service beyond its original 2018 target.
The project, costing £460 million, has drawn criticism from officials and unions over management failures and impacts on island communities reliant on ferry services.
Ferguson Marine’s CEO apologized, citing ongoing efforts to improve quality and safety, while government leaders expressed disappointment but reaffirmed support for the shipyard’s long-term recovery.
