Caledonian Maritime Assets, the Scottish owner and operator of ferries and ports for shipping services on the West Coast of Scotland, has awarded a contract to Wallace Stone Consulting Engineers for design development work before the introduction of new liquefied natural gas-powered ferries in 2018.
