Delay for Loch Seaforth

摘要

Construction of new vessel Loch Seaforth for the Caledonian MacBrayne service from Ullapool to Stornoway is running a couple of weeks behind schedule after part of the roof of the FSC building hall at Flensburg in Germany was damaged during severe gales in November 2013, which delayed work on a couple of earlier vessels on the prolific FSC production line. Hull sections for the Stornoway vessel, which is due to replace lsle of Lewis (1995/6,753gt) during the coming summer, are ready for assembly, and it has emerged that FSC subcontracted construction of Loch Seaforth's three upper decks to a Polish yard in Gdansk for delivery in sections to Flensburg.
