The Isles of Scilly Steamship Group (ISSG) has launched a new freight vessel, Gugh, which recently completed its inaugural journey from Penzance to the Isles of Scilly. Designed to transport freight directly to shore, Gugh can carry up to 50 tonnes of cargo and 12 passengers. This vessel is part of ISSG’s fleet expansion and vessel replacement project, with two additional vessels set to enter service in 2026.
CFCM measured the power output to the prop shafts onboard GUGH, building the basis for some exciting future projects working with Coastal Workboats.
