  • Pentland Ferries – 25 March 2008
    Submission from Helen Whyte, Pentland Ferries – 25 March 2008 To whom it may concern, Pentland Ferries Ltd operate a ferry service from the Gills Bay, Caithness to St Margaret's Hope, Orkney. We would like to put the following points forward for the inquiry into ferry services in Scotland. Pentland Ferries Ltd is a privately owned company started in 1997 by the current managing director Andrew Banks, and has been operating a ferry service since May 2001. The company currently owns two vessels. The MV Claymore operates a daily service between Gill’s Bay and St Margaret’s Hope year round, running 3 trips each way per day in the winter and 4 per day in the summer. Pentland Ferries are currently one of only 2 Scottish ferry companies that receive no subsidy or other financial assistance. Whilst not designated the ‘lifeline’ service we carry a large percentage of the livestock transported to and from the islands, together with dangerous goods such as aviation fuel, which closed deck vessels cannot carry. Pentland Ferries second vessel, the Pentalina B, is out with Scotland on lease. As well as the two vessels detailed above, we are currently having a RoPax catamaran built in Cebu, in the Philippines by FBMA Marine. This vessel will be launched in April 2008. The new vessel will have 50% increase in capacity and will replace the MV Claymore on the Pentland Firth route as the demand over the summer months has now exceeded the capacity of the Claymore. The Catamarans structure consists of a steel hull with aluminium superstructure, which has a direct effect on economy and is environmentally friendly with the use of efficient turbo charged high speed diesel engines with low emissions.

Identify other opportunities for new and/or enhanced air routes using spare aircraft capacity available in the west Highlands & Islands. Investigate route developments’ likely impacts in terms of fleet, crewing and operating costs. Assess the ability of any new or enhanced routes to secure best value to the public purse and support sustainable economic growth in the Highlands & Islands. This was to include a high level demand assessment, recognising that further research would be required if any of the identified route options are pursued. Assess how individual route enhancements can best be delivered. Research Methods The work was undertaken through: Desk-based review of previous studies, and other information.
