Return of ferry delayed again
The 'Caledonian Isles' will undock 24 hours later than planned on June 8. The unsettled weather meant the rudder works will be completed 24 hours later than planned. High winds caused a 12-hour delay in entering the drydock. Continuing unsettled weather now meant it has taken longer than planned to install the rudders due to the impact on cranes being able to safely operate. Therefore, the current plan is to flood the dock on June 8 and exit. Necessary checks will be carried out alongside at James Watt Dock throughout the day. MCA are due to attend on June 9, before sea trials begin in earnest on June 10 for three days. This will include berthing trials at Ardrossan and Brodick. This means a phased return will begin on June 13 and continue through June 14 with a full return to timetable on June 15.
