Mr MacNeil said: “It is time for Transport Scotland to think again and to trial MV Pentalina in the ports and crossings on the West Coast. We know there are huge pressures on the ferries on the West Coast given the debacle around the yard on the Clyde. Meantime, the most pressing issue is to get the MV Pentalina trialled on the West Coast and the sooner this happens the better.”
