  • Rural Economy & Connectivity Committee
    Rural Economy & Connectivity Committee Inquiry into construction and procurement of ferry vessels in Scotland Evidence submission from Mull & Iona Ferry Committee. This paper focusses on questions surrounding the design of 801/802 and prevailing ferry norms in the CalMac fleet. 12/01/20 Page 1 of 16 BACKGROUND Hulls 801 and 802 are not planned to serve routes to Mull or Iona, but their introduction was intended to have a profound positive effect on our main service between Oban and Craignure. Hull 802 was originally due to be deployed in 2018 to Uig, which would release the MV Hebrides to move to Mull. Oban – Craignure is currently served by two vessels in summer – the MV Isle of Mull (31 years old, 70 car capacity), and the MV Coruisk (16 years old, 40 car capacity). Prior to the introduction of RET in 2015, the MV Isle of Mull operated the service on her own. Since RET however, summer vehicle carryings have increased by 31% and the Coruisk was added to the summer service to add capacity. Even with two vessels there is still inadequate vehicle capacity, and a vessel larger than the Coruisk is urgently needed. DIRECT IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON MULL AND IONA. The Oban – Craignure Route is the most congested in the entire CalMac network, as shown by the table to the left. The route most in need of additional capacity is therefore Oban-Craignure, and of all the islands, it is Mull and Iona that will be damaged most as a result of the late delivery of hulls 801 and 802.

  • 1 Gdsg/14/1/4 Gourock-Dunoon Ferry Service Steering
    GDSG/14/1/4 GOUROCK-DUNOON FERRY SERVICE STEERING GROUP Deployment of the MV Coruisk – December 2013 to March 2014 Background 1. The AFL service suffered significant weather disruption during Winter 2012- 13. The AFL service with a significant deterioration on the previous winter. Bad weather affected reliability during the winter season (November 2012 to March 2013) with only 86% of sailings taking place (and only 68% in March 2013). 2. A limited number of options were available to AFL and to the Scottish Ministers to improve the resilience of the service in the winter 2013-14. A search for short-term replacement vessels had been initiated early in 2012 but this had not resulted in any suitable vessels offering significant performance improvements being found. The only vessel available for deployment on the service in 2013-14 was the MV Coruisk1. 3. Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon MSP announced to Parliament on 19 September 2013 her decision to deploy the MV Coruisk as an additional vessel, stating that: “The weather reliability statistics, particularly for last winter, tell a clear story. However, I stress that the situation is in no way the fault of the crews of Argyll Ferries’ vessels, who strive to provide the best possible service under the understandably very close scrutiny of the users of the service. The hard fact is that the vessels – in particular the MV AliCat – have failed to perform reliably in poor weather.” 4. She went on to say that: “I have been considering the options for the coming winter based on the vessels that are available in the wider CalMac fleet.

  • Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee
    RURAL ECONOMY AND CONNECTIVITY COMMITTEE INQUIRY INTO CONSTRUCTION AND PROCUREMENT OF FERRY VESSELS IN SCOTLAND SUBMISSION FROM MULL & IONA FERRY COMMITTEE Page 1 of 16 BACKGROUND Hulls 801 and 802 are not planned to serve routes to Mull or Iona, but their introduction was intended to have a profound positive effect on our main service between Oban and Craignure. Hull 802 was originally due to be deployed in 2018 to Uig, which would release the MV Hebrides to move to Mull. Oban – Craignure is currently served by two vessels in summer – the MV Isle of Mull (31 years old, 70 car capacity), and the MV Coruisk (16 years old, 40 car capacity). Prior to the introduction of RET in 2015, the MV Isle of Mull operated the service on her own. Since RET however, summer vehicle carryings have increased by 31% and the Coruisk was added to the summer service to add capacity. Even with two vessels there is still inadequate vehicle capacity, and a vessel larger than the Coruisk is urgently needed. DIRECT IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON MULL AND IONA. The Oban – Craignure Route is the most congested in the entire CalMac network, as shown by the table to the left. The route most in need of additional capacity is therefore Oban-Craignure, and of all the islands, it is Mull and Iona that will be damaged most as a result of the late delivery of hulls 801 and 802. Lack of car deck space in the summer results in lost tourist revenue from visitors who cannot get a booking, and increased difficulty for locals who cannot travel when they need to.
