The main objective of the SVRP is to provide new all-electric vessels for operation by Caledonian MacBrayne Ferries Ltd (CalMac) on multiple routes. The SVRP is expected to deliver a substantial reduction in carbon emissions compared to the older vessels being replaced, indicating a commitment by CMAL to environmental sustainability.
CMAL own seven ports included in the SVRP Phase 1 Vessel Deployment of which four are overnight berths:
- Colintraive
- Fishnish – Lochaline
