Ferry firm Cal Mac said it has addressed the worries held by the unions and have reached a settlement in strike talks held today in Glasgow.
Martin Dorchester, managing director of Cal Mac Ferries said: “We can confirm that we have been able to conclude talks with the RMT and the TSSA and that their concerns have been addressed."
He added: "Further strike action was in no one's interests.
“I'd like to recognise the positive engagement and support of all our unions in achieving this position.
“Now is the time for everyone at CalMac to start focusing 100% on successfully winning the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Service contract.
"This is the best way of not only ensuring long term protection for our employees but also of securing the quality lifeline services we provide to the communities we serve.
"We are the best company to deliver these services and I look forward to working with all our colleagues to achieve this goal.”
