The question

To ask the Scottish Executive why Caledonian MacBrayne did not produce a costed analysis of the roll-on/roll-off option for the Gourock to Dunoon ferry route in the light of the Deloitte and Touche report in 2001.

The answer

The Deloitte Touche Report, which was published in 2000, rather than 2001, itself provides a detailed analysis of a number of options for Gourock Dunoon, including a roll-on/roll-off option suggested by Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd. In addition, an Addendum was produced which reported in more detail on the technical feasibility and viability of the roll-on/roll-off option.
