A housing shortage in the city will leave the 1200 on board MS Ambition spread across Scotland.

Ukrainians on a cruise ship in Glasgow are set to be rehomed across Scotland when the ship's contract ends in two weeks.

A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “The M/S Ambition was a temporary measure to ensure Scotland could respond to the humanitarian crisis facing people in Ukraine and provide an immediate place of safety for displaced people. Glasgow City Council leader Susan has previously confirmed will not be able to house all the refugees.

She added: "I can also advise that Glasgow continues to experience a serious shortfall in available housing association properties placing further pressure on our homeless population and in this regard, it remains unlikely that those residing on the ship will secure settled housing association properties following their disembarkation from the ship on the 31 March 2023.
