Latest Polish ferry on the Clyde

Sister to the BUTE delivered last year, the latest new ferry built for Caledonian MacBrayne, the ARGYLE, recently arrived on the Firth of Clyde having sailed from the shipbuilding yard Remontowa in Gdansk.

She is the second of two virtually identical vessels to come from the Polish yard for Calmac and will run alongside the BUTE on the Wemyss Bay-Rothesay route. With a carrying capacity of up 60 cars and 450 passengers, the 72 metre long, 15.3 metre wide newbuilding has a service speed of 14 knots.
