The strategic framework of options provides Ministers with our views on what could be done to restructure the CHFS network, rather than on what should be done.Our review’s purpose is to help to identify the preferred corporate and governance structures for the delivery of ferry services on Scottish Ministers’ behalf.The objective of this review is to provide Ministers with a strategic framework of options for the CHFS network. The delivery and cost of ferry services and the relationships between the Tripartite are complex, and Scottish Ministers are mindful of the perception which exists of a lack of accountability among the parties.

TS seeks to deliver a safe, efficient, cost-effective and sustainable transport system for the benefit of the people of Scotland, thereby playing a key role in helping to achieve the SG’s purpose of sustainable economic growth with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish.įerry services in Scotland fulfil a critical function within the wider transport system, providing lifeline services to island communities.įerry services on the CHFS network are subsidised by Scottish Ministers and delivered primarily by three parties: TS, CMAL and CFL as a wholly owned subsidiary of DML (together “the Tripartite”).
