MSPs hear evidence from the company responsible for the procurement of two CalMac ferries.
The Glen Sannox is one of two delayed and over-budget ships expected to come into service next year
At Holyrood, CMAL's chief executive officer Kevin Hobbs denied Mr McColl's claims that it had hindered the construction of the ships."We didn't meddle," he said. "We can't meddle. But when something goes catastrophically wrong it's easy to slope your shoulders and blame someone else.
"Mr McColl says we [CMAL] moved the equipment," Mr Hobb said. "We did not. It was up to the shipyard to decide how that was going to be built."The shipyard's former management also came in for criticism for their decision to launch one of the ships - the Glen Sannox - in November 2017. CMAL's Interim chairwoman Morag McNeill suggested Ferguson's pushed for the premature launch because it would release more funds.
