SCOTLAND’S Transport Minister Graeme Dey was urged today to call an urgent summit to find solutions to the crisis on the Clyde and Hebrides ferries network.

Concerns have been raised regarding the problems facing CalMac staff, passengers and services following the failure to procure new ferries to increase resilience and capacity on the network.

Transport union RMT said SNP minister Mr Dey must intervene to resolve the significant disruption facing communities in the west of Scotland.
