Other News: Caledonian MacBrayne submitted their bid to operate the Northern Isles services on Th 1 Dec. Work on the proposed second linkspan at Oban is expected to commence early next year, but will not be completed until summer 2007. The Scottish Executive has approved the construction of a new ferry terminal on Raasay. The new terminal, at Churchton Bay, is expected to cost around £7m and will include a breakwater. The tendering process to operate the Clyde and Hebrides Lifeline Ferry Services took a step forward when it was announced that seven ‘expressions of interest’ had been shown, with ten expressions being shown in the separately tendered Gourock-Dunoon route. Although the identity of bidders remains confidential, CalMac, Western Ferries, V Ships, the Isle of Man Steam Packet and Red Funnel are believed to be among the interested bidders. Meanwhile, Serco Denholm have announced their withdrawal from the Campbeltown-Ballycastle tendering process. NorthLink Ferries are being investigated by the Office of Fair Trading, following allegations of the existence of a cartel involving ferry freight services. Western Ferries’ Sound of Shuna visited the James Watt Dock for annual survey between M 21 Nov and Th 1 Dec. She resumed service on T 6. Allegations that appeared in the local Dunoon press of a hidden agenda between the Scottish Executive and Argyll & Bute Council, to hand Western Ferries the route “on a plate”, were strongly refuted by the Council. Waverley Excursions’ 2006 season is due to start with a weekend of Clyde cruises at Easter before the steamer is drydocked. The usual programme of Oban excursions will feature a sailing to Tiree on S 29 Apr. Following her summer and autumn schedules, Waverley will offer special cruises in October to celebrate the 60th anniversary of her launching..

Vision Corranbuie and Skipness are two adjoining forests, see map 1 Location, lying immediately to the south of the village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne, linked by open hill land rising to over 350m at the highest point. Loch Fyne forms the majority of the eastern boundary while the western area is adjacent to elevated heath and private forestry plantations.

The Kintyre Way runs through the forest. The eastern coastal strip is noted for its designated Atlantic oakwoods. The total combined management area is 2996.8ha.

  • Scottish Ferries Review Public Consultation 2010 Questionnaire
    Scottish Ferries Review Public Consultation 2010 Questionnaire Preliminary Question We know that different communities across Scotland often view their ferry services very differently, sometimes for reasons which are specific to the local area. If you would like to enter your postcode in the box below, that will help us to make the best use of the information you provide to us in this questionnaire. Submission by David MacBrayne Limited Consultation Question 1 Do you agree that a change is required, to improve consistency in provision and secure funding for the future? Yes No Response: YES - conditional Comments: A change is required to the funding mechanism because it is apparent that the government and local authorities cannot, or will not, fund the capital improvements that are now urgently required to support an efficient service. Capital investments have generally long lead-times and many assets are already well beyond effective use and are impediments to provision of sustainable lifeline service and plain good value for money. The Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) „Vessels‟ report indicated that the average age of the Scottish Ferry fleet is 19 years – for the largest fleet (the CMAL/CalMac vessels) Graph 1 illustrates how this has fluctuated over the last 35 or so years. With MV Finlaggan the only addition to the fleet in 2011 and assuming that 2013 is the earliest that any additional vessels could be procured by, the average age of the fleet will have increased to 22 years by 2013 – double that of 1980. (The graph assumes that no disposals will take place up to 2013.) 2 Graph 1: Average vessel age 1974 to 2013 – CalMac/CMAL fleet Average age of vessels - CalMac/CMAL 1974 to 2013 24 22 20 18 16 14 Average age (years) age Average 12 10 1976 1978 1980 1984 1986 1988 1992 1994 1996 2000 2002 2008 2010 1974 1982 1990 1998 2004 2006 2012 Year In tandem with the increasing fleet age, the rate of bringing new vessels into service has been reducing over time with a greater time period evident between commissions.
