Customer Update - Arran services

While we manage the delay to the overhaul periods of some of the vessels within the fleet for the period 27 March – 16 April, we can confirm that  Arran will be served by MV Caledonian Isles and MV Glen Sannox.  

MV Alfred is expected to return on 6 April, and if this is the case, MV Glen Sannox may then be released to undertake berthing trials on other routes on the network. 

Finally, our team is working hard to manage the overhaul schedule and give customers certainty as we approach the summer timetable, and the spring break. We are as always grateful for the understanding and support.
