CalMac's staff are "deeply sorry" about disruption in the ferry network in recent days, the company's managing director has said. The MV Hebrides returned to service on Monday morning after it required repairs to its CO2 firefighting system.
The lack of the vessel meant several key Western Isles routes were cancelled last week, with the MV Isle of Mull being redeployed to cover the shortfall. Island communities have repeatedly voiced their frustration about disruption to the ferry service in recent months.
Robbie Drummond, managing director at CalMac, said the MV Hebrides' route was now getting back to normal. He told the BBC's Good Morning Scotland programme: "Clearly customers are really upset about the latest disruption of last week and everyone at CalMac is deeply sorry for what they've been going through."
