About this event

The  SERMS and SE Scotland Local Network AGMs will be followed by a talk about the Calmac Hybrid Ferries Project which will be given by Mr Jim Anderson, CMAL.

In February 2011 the Scottish Government funded Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) to
develop the world’s first sea going Roll On Roll Off vehicle and passenger diesel electric hybrid
ferries in Scotland.

Ferguson Shipbuilders working alongside Seatec and Tec-Source are building two hybrid ferries.
The first of these, the MV HALLAIG, was launched on 17th December 2012.

The MV HALLAIG will enter service this summer, serving communities on Skye and Raasay. The
second ferry, just named MV LOCHINVAR, will be launched in late May and enter service later in
2013, serving the Tarbert to Portavadie route.

The ferries, which will be operated by CalMac , will use some of the most innovative new ‘green’
technology, including battery banks supplying a minimum of 20% of the energy consumed on
board.
