Public events: Learn about our plans for new Mull vessels
We’re inviting communities to learn about our plans to replace the MV Loch Frisa and MV Isle of Mull, which operate on the Oban–Craignure route, with modern, low-emission vessels whilst improving the accessibility, resilience, and reliability of the service.
Together with CalMac Ferries and Transport Scotland, we’re in the early data-gathering stages of the New Mull Vessels Project (NMVP) and have now planned a series of public engagement events for December 2025, during which we’ll discuss topics such as capacity and the retail offering.
