Bad weather is affecting ferry sailings today (Wed).
Stornoway relief ferry, MV Isle of Arran, is stuck in Ullapool due to a swell in the Minch. Her next sailing is expected to depart the mainland at 6pm, weather permitting.
The MV Lord of the Isles’ inbound run from South Uist/ Barra is affected by rough seas. The ship ran ahead of the weather to make the mainland last night.
The outbound sailing to Lochboisdale run is also cancelled. A rescheduled ferry from Oban to Castlebay only has also been put off meaning there will be no sailings on the route today.
Thursday’s sailings are also liable to disruption.
Evening sailings on the Sound of Barra have been cancelled.
