Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-11723 by Jenny Gilruth on 10 November 2022, whether it will list the regulatory requirements that it was concerned the catamaran vessel would not meet.
Answer
Ministers were advised by CMAL that there was not sufficient confidence that the vessel would meet the relevant regulatory requirements for operating in UK waters as set out by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and by the relevant class society. There were also a number of other uncertainties around the modifications that would be required to meet the requirements for operating on Calmac routes.
