COLUMN | Another ferry fiasco: Kiwi recovery as shambolic Scots look good compared to hapless Tasmanians [Offshore Accounts]

Perplexed, I focus on the task at hand.

"So, splendid mirror, who could then be more incompetent than CMAL, CalMac and the Scottish government were, what with their two ferries being eight and nine years delayed at Ferguson shipyard on the Clyde?

"Did you not know with your reflective insight that one ferry remains still unfinished, that former First Minister Nichola Sturgeon is still being investigated by police over National Party funding (and has divorced her husband, the former party chairman), and the cost overruns on the ferries Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa saw a shipbuilding contract originally valued at £97 million (US$147 million in 2015) now costing £400 million (US$503 million today), all paid for by the Scottish taxpayer?

"Oh, mirror, the irony that vessels designed to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG) cannot use that fuel as none of the berths the ferries serve in Scotland have LNG storage facilities."
