This is the ferry that was out of service for about 2 years.
This hard turn into the berth is the main reason that this port can't be used by the new ferry Glen Sannox - the one that was delivered umpteen years late, well over budget and keeps breaking down.
The other new ferry Glen Roas still continues to be delayed and there's no real chance of it before the spring of 2027.
The port has now been sold into public hands and will be adapted for the new ferry and its sister ship, also greatly delayed. The snag is, that will then close this port for a few years as it's dredged and adapted.
Meantime until the ferries are all up and running the people of Arran and the other islands are facing starvation, isolation, uncertainty and misery. So they tell us.
