FUNDING
The company is currently working
with the Council of the Isles of Scilly
and government on financing options.
NEXT STEPS
The next step will be entering
discussions with shipyards on potential
build programmes. The Isles of Scilly
Steamship Company has partnered
with international shipbroker Blair
Reid, which specialises in the sale
and procurement of new ferries.
Blair Reid is currently in contact
with 32 yards across the UK, Europe
and the Far East to acquire Expressions
of Interest and identify build costs.
Our ambition is to begin building
