Disruption expected across ferry network as storms hit Isles

Several ferry services operated by CalMac across the west coast of Scotland are expected to experience disruption with adverse weather likely to impact holiday travel plans. Current forecasts are showing that adverse weather conditions are likely to cause widespread disruption across the network.

Finlay MacRae, head of operations at CalMac, said: “While we can’t control the impact from weather, we do have a committed team working hard to reduce the impact on our communities and customers wherever we can. Our crew will monitor the situation and respond to limited weather windows by operating untimetabled services whenever they can do so safely.

“We are continually reviewing options to ensure the best service possible for customers and communities during this period and we fully appreciate how difficult this can be, especially during the holiday period.
