A massive Australian ferry, Spirit of Tasmania IV, is being mothballed in Edinburgh due to infrastructure issues and delays. The 212m-long ship was built in Finland but cannot be accommodated at its intended berth in Devonport until late 2026 or 2027. The project has faced significant cost increases and construction delays, earning it the nickname "fiasco." The situation has parallels with Scotland's own ferry issues, where new ships are being built too large for existing infrastructure.
