Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) has confirmed the signing of the Bank Refund Guarantee (BRG) for two new vessels for the Little Minch routes between Uig, Lochmaddy and Tarbert (Harris).
Work to build the ferries will now begin at Cemre Marin Endustri A.S shipyard in Turkey, with an expected delivery date for both in June and October 2025 respectively. They will be built to the same specification as the vessels for Islay, which are already under construction at Cemre. Both are currently ahead of schedule.

Twenty-four people have been killed after a train derailed in north-western Turkey, Deputy Prime Minister Recep Akdag says.
The train was en route to Istanbul from the town of Kapikule on the Bulgarian border, according to reports. Six of the carriages derailed, with about 360 passengers on board, state-run TRT Haber TV channel said. The exact cause of the crash is unclear but authorities have blamed bad weather and a landslide for the accident. CNN Turk, though, reported that a collapsed bridge was the cause of the accident.
