Ferry HALLAIG Launch Day

Engagement 2,500+
17th Dec 2012 slips Into the water for the first time
Port Glasgow
________________________________________________
The launch of Calmac's new 'green' Hybrid Ferry 'Hallaig' into the lower Clyde. Virtually seconds after she left her slip for the very first time , to the cheers of the onlookers and dignitories , she hits her natural element and fingers-crossed she would stay afloat!!. Surrounded by four tugs , the powerless ship was quickly brought under control.
Her entry into the Raasay-Sconser Route was delayed until October 2013.
A second & third ship of the 'Scottish Literature' Class have since been launched from Fergusons , 'Locninvar' & 'Catriona' - both are now In-Service.
