I`ve been doing a wee bit of browsing on the new Cromarty Ferry that will replace the "Cromarty Rose" which suffered the indignity of having to be towed to port after a major breakdown last year. The replacement will be operating later this month. A new-build by Southampton Marine Services will be a bit larger at 56ft long and carry twice as many cars, ie 4 . They have time-lapse video on the builder`s website. I`ll be going to have a ten minute crossing from Cromarty to Nigg as soon as she arrives on station. Attached pic is "Rose" in her last colour scheme.
