“Plans for the freight service for this period are being worked on and will be announced as soon as possible.

“Subject to successful berthing trials, it is planned for MV Alfred to operate the freight service, and these will take place once necessary repairs are completed by Pentland Ferries.”

Finlay MacRae, Head of Operations, said: “I am pleased to announce the remaining period of the Stornoway-Ullapool timetable, and I apologise for the delay. With MV Hebridean Isles off service, we are planning for MV Alfred to carry out berthing trials once she has been repaired, and Pentland Ferries hope to have repairs completed by 18 October.

“Further contingency plans are being considered, in the situation that MV Alfred’s berthing trials are unsuccessful and MV Hebridean Isles remains off service.”
