Add to this the ferries going into drydock for annual overhauls, and the ineptitude of the devolved parliament of the SNP in Holyrood over the building of two ferries which is now way over budget and far behind the launch dates.
There are at present 2 new ferries being constructed in Turkey for the Islay route and are well on schedule. We had a poll on the island to name them.
All praise to the CALMAC ferry crews and port staff at these difficult times who are doing a great job.
Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Willie Rennie said: "Almost six years after Nicola Sturgeon held a fake boat launch complete with painted-on windows, these boats are still needing design changes before sea trials can get underway.
"Islanders, taxpayers, and shipyard workers have been hung out to dry."
