New CalMac ferry for Islay and Jura launches in Turkey

The two remaining ferries being built in Turkey, MV Claymore and MV Lochmor, are expected to be completed in June and October next year.

They will service CalMac’s Little Minch routes in the Outer Hebrides.

Two other vessels, MV Glen Sannox and MV Glen Rosa, both built at the Ferguson Marine shipyard on the Clyde, were subject to long delays before the MV Glen Rosa launched in April.

Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop said the launch marked an “important milestone” in the Scottish government’s target of delivering six new major vessels into service by 2026.

She added: “I have no doubt the communities and businesses on Islay and Jura are looking forward to a more resilient and modern ferry service, with further vessels set to bring similar improvements to other parts of the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services network.”

MV Loch Indaal was officially launched by Elaine Anderson, wife of CMAL’s director of vessels Jim Anderson.
