Isle of Islay Ferry in Dry Dock | Glasgow News

New ferry MV Isle of Islay is sidelined for repairs just 15 weeks after launch due to bow door issues, forcing limited service since May and now heading into dry dock July 15th. This setback sparks alarm over the other three CalMac ferries from same Turkish shipyard Cemre, now facing potential delays amid shipyard financial woes. Despite CMAL’s hefty £23 million advance payment to secure ownership and stabilize the build, global economic pressures and currency woes have pushed delivery dates for the remaining vessels to 2027. Passengers are urged to book ahead as older ferry MV Isle of Arran steps in to cover the route.
