Stuart McMillan MSP has thanked Inverclyde Council for working with Global Ports Holding to install a public access defibrillator (PAD) outside of Greenock Ocean Terminal. The local SNP MSP raised this with Global Port Holdings during a visit to the terminal in September last year after a constituent made him aware of a cruise ship passenger falling ill outside of the terminal building and requiring a defib.
