Delays as ferry out of action                    29/5/14

The damaged ferry MV Lord of the Isles (Loti)is expected back on her Barra run by Monday.

The vessel was sent to drydock after a flaw which affected the integrity of her hull was discovered following a routine inspection on Tuesday.

The ship is being repaired at the Cammell Laird yard in Birkenhead, opposite Liverpool.

Cal Mac shuffled other ships around to ensure a sailing for Barra and South Uist passengers.

The MV Hebridean Isles has picked up the Loti’s runs. However, she is slower so delays will be incurred.

The MV Clansman which also serves Barra will continue to supplement the service.
