CalMac announces Islay ferry cancellations after engine issues

CALEDONIAN MacBrayne have announced several cancellations on their Islay route following engine issues with one of their ferries.

MV Finlaggan has a problem with its main starboard engine, impacting services on Monday morning for those looking to sail from Kennacraig. 

Other sailings operated by MV Isle of Arran are still running normally. 

Caledonian MacBrayne said: "Due to a technical issue with MV Finlaggan's Starboard Main engine which requires further investigation and repair, the following sailings are cancelled - depart Kennacraig - 07:00, 13:00; depart Port Ellen - 09:45; depart Port Askaig- 15:30

"There will be a review at 15:00 for the 18:00 departing Kennacraig.

"Cancelling a sailing is a decision we do not take lightly because we know it will inconvenience our customers and the communities we serve.

"We’ll keep customers informed should there be any further changes in connection to this route."
