The purpose of this Guide to Information is to:
The information we publish through the model scheme is, wherever possible, available on our website. We offer alternative arrangements for people who do not want to, or cannot, access the information online or by inspection at our premises. For example, we can usually arrange to send information to you in paper copy (although there may be a charge for this).
We will publish the information we hold that falls within the classes of information below. If a document contains information that is exempt under Scotland’s freedom of information laws (for example sensitive personal information or a trade secret), we may remove or redact the information before publication, but we will explain why.
Where CalMac Ferries Ltd holds the copyright in its published information, the information may be copied or reproduced without formal permission, provided that:
Where CalMac Ferries Ltd does not hold the copyright in information we publish, we will make this clear.
There is no charge to view information on our website or at our premises.
We may charge for providing information to you e.g., photocopying and postage, but we will charge you no more than it costs us to do so. We will always tell you what the cost is before providing the information to you.

We do not pass on any other costs to you in relation to our published information.
