Hovercraft trials on the River Clyde in Glasgow could see some journeys being cut by up to 20 minutes, operators claim. A permanent service would involve hovercraft with a capacity of up to 130 passengers, which could travel in the open seas at speeds of up to 40 knots.
The three-day trial, by Clydefast Ltd, will involve a Griffon 2000TD 12-passenger hovercraft.
Hovercraft were last seen in regular use on the Clyde in the late 1960’s.
Two trips per day will run between the SECC pontoon in Glasgow, Braehead, East India Harbour in Greenock and Dunoon.
It will allow the Clydeport Harbourmaster the chance to assess the potential impact of a regularly operated service.
It will also give investors and local authorities the chance to experience for themselves what a hovercraft can offer in terms of alternative transport.
