Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) have advised CalMac that they plan to conduct linkspan replacements at the ports of Coll and Tiree in Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020, respectively.

However, quay side access will still be available throughout the closure period The works are expected to render each linkspan unavailable for a period of approximately 22 - 25 days, including contingency for any weather delays. MVs Clansman and Lord of the Isles, will continue to deliver a passenger-only service throughout the linkspan closure phases, operating the existing timetable. The CFL passenger-only service will be complemented by a managed freight vessel service, fulfilled by a third-party operator..
