Clipper Ranger
Our new freight ferry, the Clipper Ranger, suffered a mishap
last Tuesday (28 January), when she lost all power whilst manoeuvering
to dock at pier no 1 here in Stornoway. As a result, the impetus of the
ship carried her forcefully into the pier. Then she bounced off the
fendering and drifted in the harbour, narrowly missing running aground
in the Castle Grounds.
