Items and actions

Glen Sannox – deployment/warranty updates

Vessel performance updates

CalMac continued sea trails for their current fleet. Once the vessels are back in service, Glen Sannox sea trails date can be agreed. FMPG’s target date is the middle of July.

Glen Sannox continued to operate well, the ongoing issues with the vibrations are being regularly maintained.

The toilet systems are running well, FMPG confirmed the issue with the sliding doors were largely diminished. A solution was put in place with the additional pumps and the system was connected recently.

FMPG have drafted a programme of works for Glen Sannox being taken out of service, it was agreed to be circulated to CMAL for review. 

Communication lines on the sea trails were being agreed across all parties.

CMAL have begun work in the background for the dry dock of Glen Sannox at the end of this year. Meeting scheduled for next week between CMAL, FMPG and CalMac’s contract managers to review the detail and agree dates.

Glen Rosa – delivery and deployment 

Delivery programme update

This group will be used to ensure the handover of Glen Rosa includes lessons learned from Glen Sannox.

The Glen Rosa review group has had sight of the delivery plan that includes details on KPI’s, milestones from an engineering and regulators point of view. Also the handover of the vessel paperwork included key milestones between SG, Fergusons and CMAL.

Overtime the Glen Rosa build plan will be removed from the review group and discussed at the new project meetings where SG and CMAL will review the plan on a technical level and drill down in to further detail. Once content, CalMac will be brought in to further discussions.
