Ferguson Marine (Port Glasgow) has today announced the completion of a major milestone in the build of one of the dual fuel ferries currently under construction.

Hull 802, as the vessel is currently known, was fitted with its large bow unit which, at 100 tonnes, is the largest single unit added to the ferrys steel hull.

In a major engineering operation involving a 15-strong team and two heavy-lift cranes, the block completes the bow structure. This week will mark a key moment in the vessels progress when the final units are lifted into place, completing the main hull and steelwork and making way for the installation of the ferrys aluminium superstructure, which is all the units that sit above the main deck.
