MV Isle of Mull
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MV Isle of Mull is a ship operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, the Clyde and Hebridean Isles ferry operator. Built in 1987 at Ferguson Shipbuilders of Glasgow she is currently one of the largest of Caledonian MacBrayne's fleet with a length of 90.3m.
She operates the route between Oban and Craignure on the Isle of Mull. This route is a very busy route and for that reason she can accommodate up to 962 passengers, 70 cars and 28 crew. She entered service on this route on the 11th of April 1988 after being launched from the Clyde by Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy.
Due to a deadweight problem she was lengthened by 5.4m in 1988 by Tees Dockyard.
