SCOTTISH FERRIES REVIEW - WORK PACKAGES
The Ferries Review is a very large and complex piece of work. To ensure that all of the required work is carried out, the project will be split up into different pieces of work called "work packages". Each of these work packages will have a manager in charge of their delivery called "work package managers". The work package managers will meet on a regular basis to discuss progress and cross over of work. In this way we can ensure that all interests are covered under all areas and minimise the risk of duplication of effort.
Work Package 1 will consider methods of delivery and operation, competition and procurement and freight and will be delivered by Transport Research Institute (TRI), Edinburgh Napier University. Further details for the work package are available here.
Work Package 2 will consider fares, funding, cost and affordability, integration, services and routes and will be delivered by MVA Consultancy Ltd. Further details of the work package are available here.
Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited will deliver the work on vessels, ports and harbours and accessibility. Further details of the work packages are available below.
Highlands and Islands Enterprise will consider the economic impact of Ferries. Further details of the work package can be found here.
All the work will be subject to a Strategic Environmental Assessment and Equality Impact Assessments and the Scottish Government are leading on these elements.
