Ferry sidelined after positive Covid-19 test
After a crew member returned a positive COVID-19 test, the 'Isle of Arran', servicing the route Oban-Craignure, has been withdrawn from service to allow for the vessel to be deep cleaned and crew replaced on Dec 29, 2021. As a result, several sailings departing from Oban and Craignure were cancelled. After the replacement crew has joined the vessel, the ship resumed the service on Dec 30.
