MV Isle of Islay successfully completes second sea trials in Turkey
MV Isle of Islay trials took place last week with staff from Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) and CalMac in attendance in the Sea of Marmara in Turkey. It came after the first sea trials were carried out successfully in June, which saw the set-up of the propulsion systems, generators, thrusters, stabilisers and associated electrical systems.

Officials announced in March that the ship, which is being built by the Cemre Marin Endustri shipyard east of Istanbul, was to be delayed by at least three months due to labour shortages and poor weather. The contract for four ferries was awarded to the shipyard in March 2022. The MV Isle of Islay, which will serve Islay and Jura, was expected to be delivered in October of 2024. The delivery of the Isle of Islay is now expected at the end of this year's third quarter. It was previously expected that it would be delivered at the end of the second quarter. Jim Anderson, director of vessels at CMAL, said: 'The successful testing of the hybrid system marks a significant step forward in completing this new vessel for Islay and Jura.

Three other ships – the MV Loch Indaal, MV Lochmor and MV Claymore – are being built in Turkey.

New Islay ferry being built in Turkey completes second sea trial months late
A new CalMac ferry being built in Turkey has completed a second set of sea trials after its delivery was delayed by 11 months. The MV Isle of Islay is one of four vessels being built at the Cemre shipyard to serve west coast routes. It was meant to be delivered in October 2024 but supply issues, labour shortages and bad weather has seen months of delay. On Tuesday, Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL), the procurement body for Scotland's ferry operator CalMac, said the MV Isle of Islay was set to be delivered by the end of September. The second set of sea trials took place in the Sea of Marmara from July 16 to July 20, with staff from CMAL and CalMac in attendance. The trials tested the vessel's battery energy storage system, the 'optimisation' of the power management system, and the energy management system. It comes after shipbuilders at Cemre Marin Endustri in Yalova, Turkey, conducted the first set of sea trials in May. The ferry has since returned to the shipyard where it is undergoing further outfitting work. The MV Isley of Islay is to be able to carry up to 450 passengers and 100 cars. Jim Anderson, director of vessels at CMAL, said: 'The successful testing of the hybrid system marks a significant step forward in completing this new vessel for Islay and Jura. 'The team at Cemre have made good progress in the build programme for the vessel, and we continue to work closely with the shipyard as we move into the final stages of the build.' Three other ferries are being built at the Turkish shipyard. They are the MV Loch Indaal – also set to serve Islay – and the MV Claymore and MV Lochmor – which will serve the Little Minch routes.

Ferry nameplate makes final voyage home to Selby
The nameplate of one of Scotland's longest serving ferries has been returned to Selby, where it was built more than 40 years ago.A special service was held at Selby Cathedral to welcome home the small fragment of the former MV Hebridean ceremony was attended by some of those who helped build the vessel as well as workers from Scottish ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne, who delivered the the congregation was Phil Moat, who said: "It's been great to see everyone again - and to see shipbuilding getting some recognition in a beautiful place like this." Built by Cochrane Shipbuilers, in Selby, at a cost of £5.5m the ship was launched sideways into the River Ouse in the next four decades the 280ft (85m) ferry made journeys between islands such as Skye, Colonsay and Islay in north-west Scotland, before being withdrawn from service in among the crowd at today's ceremony was Jim Anderson, who said: "We are ex-shipbuilders. We get the togetherness of a shipyard, and why people are still so proud of a 40-year-old ship. That's why it was important to be here." The Duchess of Kent was in charge of the formalities at the launch, but it was the but it was the technique used to launch the vessel that has stuck long in peoples' had to get underneath the hull, hammer away wooden blocks holding the ship in place, then run for cover as it slid towards the McMillan, known as Mac, said: "The dramatic thing was when you saw people on the opposite bank being hit by the wash from the river."The emergency services were shouting 'get back, get back'. People would line up in big crowds - bring all their children - because they'd never seen anything like that."Paul Welch was one of the workers tasked with hammering away the said: "You've always got one eye on the ship moving. As soon as it moves, you duck and run. "All launches were special - this was one of many launches the shipyard did over the years. "Shipbuilding always was important, but today matters because there are so few of us left. We are a dwindling band." Stephen Mackenzie started at Cochrane's as an apprentice joiner in 1971 - his father and brother worked there as well - and stayed with the firm for 17 said: "This has been a long time coming. Shipbuilding has been going on here for years and years and we didn't get the recognition. I'm very pleased - shipbuilding is what makes Selby."
