Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) has confirmed the signing of the Bank Refund Guarantee (BRG) for two new vessels for the Little Minch routes between Uig, Lochmaddy and Tarbert (Harris).

Work to build the ferries will now begin at Cemre Marin Endustri A.S shipyard in Turkey, with an expected delivery date for both in June and October 2025 respectively.

They will be built to the same specification as the vessels for Islay, which are already under construction at Cemre. Both are currently ahead of schedule.
