fitting out

The ship had cost £5.5m - and after a few months of fitting out, it made its maiden voyage off Scotland's west coast in December.

But it is understood that more work would be required before that could happen because the original construction deal involved some final fitting out work being completed in Australia.

The Glen Rosa was launched from the slipway earlier this year and fitting out work is expected to be complete by September 2025.

Glen Rosa will be the heaviest vessel ever to leave the slipway at Ferguson's and once launched this afternoon will require more than a year of fitting out work before it is ready for delivery.

The companies involved in construction and fitting out of the apartments deny liability.
