RMT says ferry workers must receive support for sudden increase in passenger traffic as c-19 restrictions lifted

MARITIME union RMT has said that ferry workers must receive support as they deal with a sudden increase in passenger traffic following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions.

On Tuesday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced an end to most remaining restrictions across Scotland, including legal requirements on physical distancing from next Monday. 

The move is likely to lead to an increase in the number of passengers using Scottish ferries, raising concerns over a lack of support for staff.
