Fergusons Shipyard is apparently now set for Nationalisation by the SNP, according to the BBC article "The GMB union said nationalisation would secure the immediate future of the yard".

The Scottish Govt will now operate the yard under a management agreement with the administrators, meaning the Scottish government own the yard if no private buyer is found within four weeks.

A sensible lifeline to deliver the ferries in my opinion, I wonder at what cost though, particularly if no work can be found after they have delivered the troubled CALMAC ferries?
