Service updates
Friday 26th April
Following investigations into the technical issue with MV Isle of Lewis' Bow Visor, we have identified damage to the Port lower cleat bracket. The vessel has now been removed from service and will locate to Greenock Dock for further repairs. Preparation of a full and permanent repair plan is underway and once completed we will be able to define an estimated repair duration. Updates to follow as more information becomes available.
MV Isle of Mull will operate the following combined timetable:
Depart Castlebay – 06:05
Arrive Oban – 11:40
Depart Oban – 12:40
Arrive Castlebay – 18:15
Depart Castlebay – 18:30
Arrive Lochboisdale – 20:15
Saturday 27th April – Friday 10th May
During this period MV Lord of Isles has been redeployed to support Islay whilst MV Finlaggan is on annual overhaul. MV Isle of Mull will now operate this route to and from Oban.
Unfortunately, the berthing trial carried out with MV Isle of Mull at Uig has demonstrated that we would not be able to deliver a regular timetabled service to Uig. This is due to the vessel only being able to fit at certain tides.
Due to this we have made further changes to the timetable Please see timetable here.
All bookings affected by this change will be contacted by the ports in due course.
We are currently updating our reservation system to reflect these changes, whilst we do so some sailings may be unavailable.
Saturday 27th April – Thursday 9th May
In order to provide additional capacity to Mull, MV Isle of Mull will operate between Lochboisdale – Oban via Craignure on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Timetables for these days can be found here.
