description
(CalMac Ferries Ltd) CFL operates 27 variable message boards (VMBs) around its ferry network. These signs display route information and are centrally managed by CFL’s Service Updates Team (SUT) in Gourock using a single application.
The boards are to replace existing boards at the following routes:
- A830 (Opp Lochaber High School at Fort William): Information for all Mallaig services
- A87 (at Skye Bridge): Information for all Uig services
- A851(Broadford near A87 Junction): Information for all Armadale services
Only these three are in scope of this procurement.
The information displayed on these boards is out of date as the services provided at Mallaig, Uig, and Armadale have changed since installation. In addition, the boards use out of date technology that is relatively expensive to maintain and prevents accurate information being relayed to passengers en route to their port of departure. Therefore, CFL will be replacing the three VMBs.
