Ferry completed remedial work

The ship returned to service on the main Arran route on the evening of March 2 after undergoing sea trials on March 1. The ship - intended to sail between Ardrossan and Brodick - will have to use Troon as its mainland port until major upgrade work is carried out at Ardrossan to accommodate the new vessel and its sister ship. The Scottish Government announced that money to bring the Ardrossan terminal - currently owned by private firm Peel Ports, which is also the owner and operator of the Port of Greenock and the statutory harbour authority for the Clyde - was being included in its 2025-26 budget. CalMac also admitted last week that services between Ardrossan and Brodick - which have been suspended since the 'Glen Sannox' entered service - would not resume until at least the end of April due to extended repair work on the route's usual vessel, the 'Caledonian Isles', which hasn't been in service since Jan 2024.
