Emergency on ferry after passenger falls ill

 

9 July 2016  

An emergency occurred onboard the Sound of Barra ferry on Saturday.

A passenger fell ill on the lunchtime sailing of the MV Loch Alainn.

The ferry is said to have turned back to Ardmhor in Barra so the lady could receive medical attention.

The service was delayed but later resumed her timetable on the Barra - Eriskay route.

Earlier in the day, the vessel was delayed at Ardmhor due to fog in the area.
