Stornoway ferry stuck in port By David Kerr July 13 2014, 7:14 pm July 13 2014, 7:14 pm Share Stornoway ferry stuck in port Share via Facebook Twitter Whatsapp Messenger Linkedin Email Post link https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/highlands-islands/284964/undefined-headline-282/ Copy Link Faulty hydraulics meant the Stornoway ferry was stuck in port on Saturday afternoon. The MV Isle of Lewis’ hydraulically operated mezzanine deck – needed to carry extra vehicles on the very busy weekend sailing – failed to work. Operator Caledonian Macbrayne said the delay was caused by a “technical issue.” The ship’s engineers worked for hours to try to fix the problem. The vessel missed its lunchtime departure slot and eventually sailed for Ullapool around 5.20pm. The return voyage was also delayed as a result.
