Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth has been urged to “urgently” intervene in the ferries crisis amid reports Scottish islanders are having to ration food.
A group of Scottish Conservative MSPs, including party leader Douglas Ross, have written to her demanding an emergency summit be held with island MSPs to determine a timeline for the resumption of key ferry routes.
This comes as the CalMac vessel MV Hebrides was out of action for three days as it received urgent repairs due to issues with its CO2 firefighting system.
