A fond farewell to MV Hebridean Isles 🥰 CalMac is bidding a fond farewell to MV Hebridean Isles on 21 November after almost 40 years of serving islanders across the west coast network. She was launched by the Duchess of Kent on 4 July 1985 from the Cochrane's Shipyard in Selby, North Yorkshire. Famously launched into the water sideways, workers were seen dashing quickly from beneath the hull as she slid into the River Ouse. Thanks to Tom Lennon for this lovely drone footage 📸 Read more info he

The delivery of one of four new CalMac ferries being built in Turkey has been delayed. MV Isle of Islay was to be handed from the yard in the Middle East in October, but has been pushed back by at least two months towards the end of 2024. It comes after the handover date for long-delayed Glen Sannox, under construction at Ferguson Marine, was pushed back once again. #news #ferry #ship #transport | STV News
