RoPax ferry for Scottish shipowner CMAL delivered

The 117m-long vessel has a capacity for 700 passengers, and 143 cars or 20 lorries.
At the end of the year, it will begin its service linking the mainland of north-western Scotland with the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides on the Stornoway-Ullapool route. Because of its high-value, modern design and construction, the ferry is suitable for 24-hour operation and will replace two older vessels, FSG said.
