MV Glen Sannox is now due for delivery in late May or June after problems with supply of specialist pipework.
The boss of the nationalised Ferguson shipyard has said lessons have been learned, as further costs and delays to two new Calmac ferries were confirmed.
Construction of the two vessels, the first ships ever built by a UK shipyard capable of running on liquefied natural gas , has been plagued by design challenges since the order was placed in 2015. Mr Tydeman told MSPs on the net zero and transport committee that the LNG technology was well-established but had taken up a "disproportionate" amount of the effort to complete the ships.
He said: "We are in a much stronger place on the second ship, we have learned all the lessons from Glen Sannox. He listed areas such as offshore wind support ships or crew transport vessels, as well as sub-contracting on military orders.
