The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Ferguson Marine shipyard in Port Glasgow for the launch of an innovative 26-metre workboat for the fish farming sector; understands that the Hull 805, officially named Kallista Helen, is the second of two workboats being built by Ferguson Marine for Inverlussa Marine Services, a Mull-based workboat operator, which serves Scotland's growing aquaculture sector; notes that the vessel will operate on the west coast and around the Northern Isles on a long-term charter to Scottish Sea Farms, one of Scotland’s leading producers of salmon; recognises that the multi-role treatment vessel features an innovative design and is the first of its type to be designed and built in Scotland around a thermolicer system; believes that this marks another milestone in the yard’s recovery and is a great example of businesses supporting business; commends the workforce for delivering such a well-crafted, advanced vessel, and wishes the yard well for the future.
