MV Lord of the IslesAt berth
This route is suspended, whatever the vessel is doing. See the notice above.
Right now the trackers put MV Clansman alongside at Oban, MV Coruisk alongside at Mallaig and MV Isle of Mull alongside at Oban, not MV Lord of the Isles. That is where she is, which is not the same as saying whose sailings these are.
Which vessel actually runs today is on the vessels list . This is the usual assignment, not a rota.
