This was done by Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd transferring its operations, but not its assets, to CalMac Ferries Ltd. Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd, now CMAL, continues to own the vessels and land-based assets (ports, harbours, etc) and makes them available to an operator through an open tendering process. The company iswholly owned by the Scottish Government with Scottish Ministers the sole shareholders and is located in Port Glasgow, Scotland.
