Bosses at the shipyard carrying out work on two delayed and over-budget ferries say a "reassuring milestone" has now been passed.
The Ferguson Marine yard confirmed that the first emergency diesel generator has been run successfully on MV Glen Sannox – one of two dual fuel vessels being built for ferry operators CalMac at the Port Glasgow yard.
The generator is the first piece of major equipment to be run on the vessel, and all tests and systems “performed as expected” Ferguson Marine Port Glasgow (FMPG) said.
