Ferry suffered propulsion issues again
The ' Lochnevis', serving on the route Mallaig - Small Isles, suffered a technical issue with the generator again. As a consequence, all sailings by the vessel on Sep 25 had to be cancelled until the late afternoon. The 'Loch Bhrusda' was instead operating a service to Eig. On Sep 26, an issue with the vessel’s Schottel unit needed further investigation in Mallaig, and all sailings have been cancelled for the time being. As the 'Loch Bhrusda' was unable to relocate due to the inclement weather, the 'Larven' and 'Miss Marley' continued to operate the following amended timetable. These sailings were limited to 20 passengers and did not accept bikes. After repairs have been carried out on the 'Lochnevis' the vessel returned to service on Oct 1. However, due to adverse weather forecast, the service remained liable to disruption or cancellation at short notice.
