Following the arrival of the MV FINLAGGAN at Cammell Laird in Birkenhead on Tuesday (21 June), a full assessment of the fault has now been completed.

Repair works are now underway on the hydraulic cylinders and pumps and the electrical system.

The safety of passengers is of paramount importance and CMAL is working closely with Remontowa shipyard, subcontractors and the operator to complete the repairs as quickly as possible, to ensure minimal disruption to the Islay service.

Further updates on progress with the works will be available on the CMAL website in due course.
