Ferguson Marine Left Out of Ferry Contracts | Glasgow News

from Glasgow News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Scotland’s national shipyard Ferguson Marine was blindsided when a rushed procurement process handed new ferry contracts to a Turkish firm, sparking outrage from GMB Scotland demanding a parliamentary probe. Despite being nationalized in 2019, Ferguson was sidelined as officials allegedly prioritized speed over fairness, leaving the yard unable to compete against a foreign rival already ahead on schedule and funding. CMAL claims no UK yards bid, but Ferguson argues the playing field was stacked — raising alarms about transparency, public ownership, and the future of Scotland’s maritime industry.
