Almost there. If all goes to plan the new Islay ferry perfectly named MV Isle of Islay will go into service by the end of March 2026, ie a week from writing this. It’s been a bit of a wait, but finally it’s coming to fruition. I expect there will be quite a few videos over the coming weeks and months, I hope to travel on her at least once in April. In the meantime two videos I’ve found recently. The first one is a tour around the almost completed ship, giving a fairly good overview (even though it seems to have been filmed with a camera from the 1990s):
The second is more of a slideshow about the build of the new ferry, mixed with a few short video clips. Anyone who has been following the construction will probably have already seen most if not all of it, but I think this is a decent summary:
That’s all for today, looking forward to see many more videos and pictures of the MV Isle of Islay (and hopefully soon the MV Loch Indaal as well).
