Anyone from Argyll planning to go up to the Western Isles via the ferry from Ullapool between now and Tuesday – and who has not already booked – should contact Calmac on 0800 665000 to identify a suitable alternative date. The company announced this afternoon that it has had to close further bookings for sailings between Ullapool and Stornoway until Tuesday 5th August because of a technical fault.
Our original news item on this had stated that the sailings themselves had been cancelled, rather than the withdrawal of further booking. We are grateful to ‘sandymor’ for posting a comment giving us the correction which guided the revised piece above. His information is that the technical problem relates to the mezzanine lift mechanism.
This is not true. CalMac merely announced that the sailings were closed until Tuesday – in other words, they are not taking any more bookings. Problems with mezzanine floor lifting system.
