 Ships Of Calmac - Crossings & Cruises
As demand grew across the CalMac network, a major cascade of ferries took place between 1997 and 1999, and in the latter year one of the four sisters built in 1986/7 was transferred from the Clyde to the Western Isles.
The LOCH LINNHE took over as the dedicated Kilchoan ferry in the spring of 1999, doubling car capacity on the 35 minute crossing and eliminating the need for drivers to reverse their cars on or off the ferry.
During the winter months though, when the tourists are not around, one of the 'Small Island' ferries (either BRUERNISH or RAASAY) is in charge of the service while the LOCH LINNHE covers elsewhere for vessels on their overhauls.
