So much for going green! Fuel for SNP’s ‘eco-ferries’ has to be transported 8000 miles

MAY 5, 2024

You just could not make this up!

The SNP’s delayed ferries have been hit by a new farce after it emerged that their special ‘green’ fuel must be imported 8,000 miles from Qatar then driven thousands more miles each year by road.

The vessels were designed with ‘dual-fuel’ engines which can run on liquefied natural gas (LNG), designed to cut emissions, as well as conventional diesel.
However, eight years after work began on the ferries Glen Sannox and Glen Rosa, the Scottish Government says there is no clear date for when LNG tanks, known as a bunkering facility, will ever be built here.
As a result, LNG must be imported in diesel-powered ships from Qatar to a terminal in England and then driven 450 miles to Scotland.
It is feared that will lead to emissions far in excess of savings generated by the supposedly environmentally friendly engines.
The complex dual-fuel design has been cited as one of the main reasons behind the shambolic delivery of the vessels for the route from Ardrossan, Ayrshire, to Arran.

Bahaha, it would seem that this green dream stuff just continues to fall flat on its face.

Just one pack of dickheads after another.
