Scottish Ferry News is an invaluable resource for enthusiasts and professionals who wish to track where vessels have been, what overhauls took place and which routes were affected by weather disruptions and vessel substitutions.
Once again John Newth has compiled Scottish Ferry News, detailing two months where the remaining fleet headed off for overhaul, and vessel movements for the start of this year’s summer timetable took place.
While Loch Frisa was out of action with technical problems Isle of Lewis was able to carry traffic from Oban to Craignure while on her runs out to Barra, including this visit to the Mull pier on Thursday 10 April

The above details are just a sample. There is a lot of fascinating information in Scottish Ferry News, laid out clearly and precisely — all of it awaiting your inspection and dissection.
