flag Scotland's Glen Rosa ferry project now costs £197.5M, eight years late, after delays and budget overruns.

flag The MV Glen Rosa ferry's completion cost has risen to £197.5 million, with a £12.5 million increase due to a six-month delay and added contingency funds, pushing its delivery to late 2026—eight years behind schedule. flag The project, originally budgeted at £97 million, now totals nearly five times the initial cost, drawing bipartisan criticism over mismanagement and broken promises. flag The ferry, one of two dual-fuel vessels built for Scotland’s island communities, faces ongoing design and operational challenges, including docking issues for its sister ship, Glen Sannox. flag The Scottish government maintains it will hold Ferguson Marine accountable for cost control and transparency as the project nears completion.
