Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) has appointed naValue GmbH to support the concept design of new ferries for the Oban–Craignure route.
The partners will develop and assess different vessel concepts, including low-emission solutions. Stakeholder and community consultation will form part of the process.
naValue is already well known to CMAL. The German consultancy previously supported the New Islay Vessels project and led the concept design for CMAL’s Small Vessel Replacement Programme. Its lead naval architect was also responsible for the design of LOCH SEAFORTH.
