All ferry sailings between Lochranza and Tarbert have been cancelled for two weeks owing to the lack of a suitable replacement vessel while the MV Catriona undergoes drydock maintenance.
A notice issued by Cal- Mac states: ‘Due to the current dry-docking programme and restrictions of suitable vessels for this route, the Tarbert to Lochranza sailings have been cancelled between Thursday January 4 and Thursday January 18, inclusive.’
Meanwhile, the MV Caledonian Isles was scheduled to leave today (Friday) for her annual refit. The Brodick to Ardrossan route will be served until January 17 by MV Isle of Arran and MV Hebridean Isles. The regular vessel is expected to be back in service on January 18.
