Annex A – ICP Vision, Priorities and Outcomes

Our Vision:

Our Vision is underpinned by four Priorities, each with three associated Outcomes, which address the key issues identified by our island and rural communities.

Priority 1: Reliable and Resilient

Reliable and resilient ferry services that meet the needs of communities and businesses and support the transition to a well-being economy which is fair, green and growing. Our ferry services:

• Will be reliable and resilient: to provide certainty on how long a journey will take, and that it will be a simple and comfortable experience. The confidence we will have in our journey will enable us to plan our lives, access medical services, to get to work on time, access education, to deliver goods efficiently and keep businesses running smoothly.
• Will get people and goods where they need to get to: ferry networks and services will be integrated effectively with other transport modes, helping economic development, and adapting to changing requirements of island communities, businesses and visitors while supporting opportunities for developing and new industries.
• Will be transparent: we will feel included and listened to and we will understand the reasons for decisions being made that affect our daily lives.

Priority 2: Accessible

Ferry services that are accessible and provide easy to use and affordable transport connectivity for all users. Our ferry services:

• Will ensure that our disadvantaged communities and individuals have fair access to ferry services they need. This will include reducing inequalities and advancing opportunities for equality, including the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.
• Will be easy to use for all: our ferry services will recognise that people have different needs and capabilities and will work to ensure that everyone can use the services with as few barriers as possible.
• Will be affordable: whewill consider options that affect peoples` lives in a way that is affordable and sustainable for ferry users and Governement .

Priority 3: Integrated

Ferry services that enable sustainable and active travel choices which support our health and wellbeing, and make our island and other ferry dependent communities great places to live, work and visit. Our ferry services:

• Will be safe and will support people making sustainable and active travel choices which will have a significant positive effect on individual health and physical and mental wellbeing;
• Will support integrated travel choices: better integration between our ferries networks and other modes of transport will be the key when delivering the Strategy – in particular, active and sustainable modes - both on the mainland and those islands or rural communities to which they connect.
• Will help make our island and other ferry dependent communities great places to live, work and visit, supporting the repopulation: by promoting active travel choices we will encourage walking, cycling and public transport usage. This will deliver more social interaction, support local businesses and services and create vibrant communities.

Priority 4: Low carbon

Ferry services that take actions to reduce the negative environmental impact of their operations and help to achieve Scotland's net-zero targets. Our ferry services:

• Will allow people to make travel choices that minimise the long-term impacts on the environment and the wellbeing of future generations: Scotland must transition to a net-zero emissions economy for the benefit of our environment, our people and our future prosperity.
• Will adapt to the effects of climate change: in Scotland we are already experiencing the impacts of climate change and we will adapt our ferry services to remain resilient and reduce the harmful effects on future generations.

Will help deliver our net-zero target: the Climate Change Act passed by the Scottish Parliament includes an increased ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 75% of 1990 levels by 2030, 90% by 2040 and net-zero emissions by 2045. We will outline the pathways to further lowering emissions of ferry services to support the delivery of our net-zero target.

Note 1:

The introduction of 6 new major vessels in Phase 1 will produce opportunities for the deployment of some major vessels (others will be disposed or retained as the “resilience vessel”. Whilst deployment plans remain under review, the expectation is that this would allow for the replacement of the MV Isle of Lewis on the Oban-Castlebay service.

Note 2:

Plan is to replace MV Hebrides with 2 new vessels on the “Little Minch” services with vessel delivery scheduled during Phase 1. MV Hebrides would then be redeployed and herself replaced by the end of Phase 2 (2031).
