CalMac Leadership Shake-Up Amid Ferry Delivery Crisis

Scotland's largest ferry operator, CalMac, sees CEO departure and ongoing fleet challenges as overdue ferries exacerbate service disruptions.

Robbie Drummond, CEO of CalMac, steps down immediately following a review of the company's executive leadership amidst a ferry delivery crisis.
The departure follows the firing of David Tydeman, head of Ferguson Marine, where the delayed ferries are being built, adding to the turmoil.
Scottish government faces criticism for 'chaos' in the ferry network, with opposition calling for ministerial accountability.
Delivery of two new CalMac ferries is six years overdue and costs have more than tripled, severely impacting services to the Hebrides and Scottish mainland.
Duncan Mackison appointed as interim CEO with a focus on improving operational performance and customer communication amid continued service upheavals.
