Chain Ferries Under Build

The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee hasawarded the £15m contract to build three new chain driven ferries for the service across the mouth of the River Tamar in Devon UK to Glasgow based Ferguson Shipbuilders Ltd . The vessels are currently under build, with the contract specifying a phased delivery of the three new ferries between October of this year and June 2005.

The introduction of the new ferries will be coordinated with shore works necessary to improve slipways and modify chain handling arrangements in ways that minimise the impact on the travelling public.
