‘Green’ ferry will emit more greenhouse gases than the 31-year old diesel ship it replaces.

apple.news'Green' ferry emits more CO2 than old diesel ship — BBC NewsOne transport expert tells the BBC it might be better to run the new CalMac ferry on diesel.
@RabBrucesSpider1 I wonder why the Scottish government hasn't nationalised the ferry services provided by #CalMac? Genuine question, given the level of subsidy and how essential services are to the island population.
Excellent crossing to & from #Ullapool in the last couple of days. I don’t even know what #ferry I was on this time as safety considerations mean you can’t easily see the thing from outside and it was dark both ways. But. #CalMac & their shipyard have actually got the ventilation right. This is the first MV I’ve been on in my life that wasn’t permeated by a smell of marine diesel exhaust. So one main factor in #nausea is gone. And a smooth crossing both ways, but that’s down to chance.

This started as a simple map of CalMac's routes (Scotland's beleagured national ferry company) but it morphed into an homage to vintage travel posters.

Wow, at least it's not just Calmac that are completely rubbish. It does make you wonder why skilled manufacturing like ferries is consistently behind and over-budget.
There's a slight irony that a Ferguson was involved with the Tasmanian ferries. Seems like a surname one should keep away from ferrying.
Both the ferry company TT-Line and ports firm TasPorts are state-owned, and in August the infrastructure minister, Michael Ferguson, and TT-line chairman, Mike Grainger, both resigned.

On the ferry now and heading for #Stornoway. Of course the standard morning #Calmac ferry trip must include a full breakfast

“Toronto spending $92M on pair of replacement ferries
The city says the #ferries are between 61 and 114 years old and are beyond the average industry lifespan. This summer, council approved the purchase of two new electric vessels for $92 million, but they won't be delivered until late 2026 and early 2027.”
A bit of perspective for the #Corran ferry!
And indeed for the #Calmac fleet.

rb132 – SCO – Umzug über Portree nach Kilmuir auf Skye – 2023-07-16
Es heißt wieder einmal packen und weiter ziehen. Wir wollen diese Ecke von Schottland hier bei Mallaig verlassen und nach über 14 Jahren wieder mal auf die Isle of Skye abhängen.
Die letzten Jahre haben uns Hinweisschilder und auch Berichte von der mit Touristen überlaufenen Insel davon abgehalten. Es muss da zwischenzeitlich echt schlimm gewesen sein, vor allem für die Einheimischen, während der Hauptsaison.
Da ich ja weiß, dass es in UK nette Spaßvögel gibt und das schon seit [...]
