FERRY operator CalMac Ferries Limited took over the operation of one of Scotland’s shortest ferry services, linking the island of Kerrera to the mainland south of Oban, on Saturday July 1.
The Transport Scotland contract to provide the mostly passenger-only service on the island, which is home to just over 50 people, has been integrated into the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services contract (CHFS) awarded to CalMac in 2016.
The new service will be largely unchanged from the existing operation with fares and timetables set by Transport Scotland.
