Islay Ferry MV Finlaggan

Islay Ferry MV Finlaggan was contracted by CMAL in November 2007 and will be the first new ship to serve the Islay route in almost 40 years. The ferry will sail from Kennacraig to Port Askaig initially, while infrastructure works are completed at Port Ellen. The MV Finlaggan replaced the MV Isle of Arran, built 1984 on the Kennacraig to Islay Route. Special features of this new ferry are the mezzanine deck for 18 cars and the somewhat "posh interior" wich is much appreciated by many travellers.
