Scottish isles economies benefit from publicly-owned ferries
Government-owned ferry services offer more than just transport for passengers.
That's the view of the chief executive of Scottish-based firm Stream Marine Training Martin White, who regularly visits the Island to meet with clients in the Manx maritime sector.
Mr White was speaking after government proposals to buy the Steam Packet Company were revealed.
He says the publicly-owned services operating in Scottish waters make a vital contribution to the economies of the isles:
Missed opportunity in inmate's care, inquest finds
Seven arrests made as part of King Gaming fraud and money laundering investigation
Motorists urged to avoid Cooil Road following RTC
Probation for man caught with knife at Sea Terminal
Warning after tea towel tumble dryer fire
Calls for Sarah's Law on Isle of Man
