Ferry services are facing cancellation or delay today as wind speeds exceed 40mph.

The Oban to Lochboisdale CalMac sailings have been called off for the day as forecasters warn of strong winds and tidal conditions.

The Met Office is predicting wind speeds will reach highs of 46mph in Lochboisdale as Stornoway experiences gusts of up to 40mph.

A number of other routes across the fleet are also at risk of disruption as a result of the conditions.

In a statement posted on Twitter, CalMac informed commuters of the disruption to the South Uist crossing.

They wrote: “Due to forecast adverse weather with wind speeds of up to 46 mph, all sailings are cancelled.”

Amended timetables

Amended timetables have been imposed on several crossings as operators battle to deliver services amidst challenging tidal conditions.

Commuters travelling from Oban to Coll, Tiree, or Lismore are being warned of potential delays as CalMac alters services.

Services between Berneray and Leverburgh are also liable to disruption.
