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.
The damage to the ship necessitated it being patched up prior to it being taken to drydock in Liverpool for repairs.
For the time being, the MV Hebridean Isles is taking freight back and forth to Ullapool
