MV Hebridean Isles

Due to a number of damaged cabins on MV Hebridean Isles, crew require onshore accommodation. As a result of this, crew hours of rest are impacted.

To provide the required hours of rest, we will be unable to provide a vehicle service between Islay and Colonsay on Wednesdays for the remainder of the summer timetable. We are continuing to explore options for a passenger charter on Wednesdays between 18 September to 16 October. We will provide an update as soon as possible.
