苏格兰为受渡轮问题影响的岛屿企业设立了440万英镑的援助基金。 Scotland launches £4.4 million aid fund for island businesses affected by ferry issues.

苏格兰政府推出了一项440万英镑的基金,以帮助因轮渡中断而受到打击的岛屿企业。 The Scottish Government has introduced a £4.4 million fund to aid island businesses hit by ferry disruptions. 该基金向8个岛屿的企业开放,向旅游业和易腐商品部门提供3 000至35 000英镑的赠款。 Open to businesses on eight islands, the fund offers grants from £3,000 to £35,000 for tourism and perishable goods sectors. 尽管采取了这项举措,但批评者认为,基金可能无法充分应对所有岛屿挑战,特别是方案未包括的那些岛屿挑战。 Despite the initiative, critics argue the fund may not fully address all island challenges, particularly for those not included in the program. 申请从2025年7月2日起开始,在10月31日前作出决定。 Applications start July 2, 2025, with decisions by October 31.
