MV Isle of Arran

7.30am

She has now been redeployed from the Ardrossan-Brodick-Campbeltown route to cover Argyll and Bute's Kennacraig-Islay service, with MV Hebridean Isles moving from Islay to cover the Skye Triangle.

South Uist's boat, MV Lord of the Isles, was withdrawn from service on Tuesday for essential repairs to its firefighting system and then, on Wednesday night, North Uist's MV Hebrides was damaged after it struck a pier.
The loss of MV Hebrides has meant all services on the Skye Triangle - sailings between Uig on Skye, Tarbert on Harris and Lochmaddy on North Uist - were cancelled on Thursday and again on Friday.
