Trials of the Isle of Man ship Ben-My-Chree found it could not berth safely on the Arran route.

A woman was rescued from the Firth of Clyde on Monday night after she fell from a CalMac ferry.

Services are temporarily moved from Ardrossan where the only usable berth is limited by wind direction.

Some passengers said they were refused boarding after thick fog hit CalMac sailings on Saturday.

The boat, hired at a cost of £9m, still has an issue which prevents it from sailing on the Islay route.

CalMac hopes MV Alfred will soon be providing relief services on its west coast ferry routes.

CalMac has set out a series of issues affecting a number of its west coast ferries and services.

CalMac said it could be up to five weeks before extra work on the MV Caledonian Isles was completed.
