Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Ferry Services Inquiry

Meeting date: 15 November 2022

Edward Mountain

So, do you feel that you are absolutely involved in the formulation of the plan

Edward Mountain

Can I just clarify something? Are you referring particularly to vessels 801 and 802, or do you mean all ferries?

Declaration of Interests

Meeting date: 15 November 2022

Edward Mountain

Good morning and welcome to the 30th meeting in 2022 of the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee.

First, I welcome Ash Regan, who joins us as a member of the committee. Ash replaces Natalie Don. On behalf of all members, I thank Natalie for her support, for her keen interest in all the issues that we have been dealing with, and for being鈥攆rom a convener鈥檚 point of view鈥攁n easy member. I hope that all members of her new committee are as helpful to her as she was to me. I place that on the record.

As Ash Regan joins us for the first time, I invite her to declare any interests.

Before I bring in Gordon Martin, I want to build on something that Monica Lennon said. There will not be a single person around the table who would condone the activities that Martyn Gray is suggesting happen on boats. Regardless of how frustrating the situation is, everyone is entitled to a safe place of work. It is important to put that on the record. You have the support of the committee on that.

Has the situation become more acute in the past five years, or has abuse of staff always been a problem? It would be helpful if you could give a very short answer to that.

We are at the end of our time. Thank you for your input this morning and for all the evidence that you have given. Both of you have offered to submit further evidence to the committee, and we would really appreciate that, once you have had a chance to do it.

That concludes the public part of our meeting.

Would our deputy convener like to come in on that point?

Okay. I will come to Monica Lennon in a minute, but I will continue on vessel 801. Part of the design of 801 is crew accommodation, which has been described as being vitally important. There has been mention鈥攐r there have been discussions鈥攖hat vessels 801 and 802 might be double crewed in the future. However, there is no double-crew accommodation and single crewing might not allow for the crew who are on down time to have uninterrupted sleep, which means that it takes them longer to come back on duty. Is that the case? Do you have concerns about the ability of 801 and 802 to be double crewed?

You are on screen, Gordon, so we will start with you.

Item 2 is to decide whether to take in private item 4, which is consideration of the evidence session that we will hear today as part of our inquiry into Scotland鈥檚 ferry services. Do we agree to take item 4 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

You are being extremely diplomatic, deputy convener. We were just discussing earlier this morning our having five more evidence-taking sessions, but I think that we would very much like to see the report, even if we cannot attend its launch. Thank you for the invitation, though.
