#FerryNews - Passengers may face delays and disruption this summer as Scottish operator, CalMac struggles to keep ageing ferries running.

However, interim managing director Robbie Drummond says older boats may struggle under the “strain”.
Last year more than five million people, almost 1.5 million cars and 80,000 coaches used the network.
