The Scottish government said the service would now be focused on a "public service model" instead of being run on a commercial basis.The current contract for the Clyde and Hebridean Ferry Service, already operated by CalMac, had been due to expire last September but was extended by a year.

Ministers had indicated that a direct award, without a competitive tender, was their preference, but they needed more time to ensure this could be done legally.The previous eight-year contract for the heavily-subsidised ferry service was worth £975m.CalMac is the UK's biggest ferry operator and has held the most recent contract to run the routes since 2016, serving 50 destinations.

Delays in replacing the older vessels, in part due to the problems with two new dual-fuel ferries ordered a decade ago, have stretched the service almost to breaking point, with many vessels now beyond their expected service life.
