GLEN ROSA launched and officially named
FerryGLEN ROSA, the second of two dual fuel vessels being built at Ferguson Marine in Port Glasgow, was launched into the Clyde. Like her sister vessel GLEN SANNOX, GLEN ROSA is being built on behalf of Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) to service the Arran route.
The 102-metre ferry will be capable of operating on LNG and MGO. GLEN ROSA is designed to carry 127 cars, 16 HGVs - or a combination of both - and up to 852 passengers. She is due to be completed by September 2025.
GLEN ROSA is the 363rd vessel launched on the Clyde under the Ferguson Marine name. At around 3,000 tonnes, she is considerably heavier than her sister vessel GLEN SANNOX was at launch and sets a new record for the yard in terms of weight at launch.
On a related note, Ferguson Marine's CEO, David Tydeman, was sacked by the yard's Board of Directors on 26 March, having joined the company in February 2022. And last week, it was announced that Robbie Drummond stepped down as CEO of CalMac.
