ISLANDERS are facing further ferry disruption on Wednesday with several sailings cancelled for the second day running.
Problems with CalMac’s largest vessel MV Loch Seaforth started on Tuesday.
It is understood that the issue is related to the engine control system. Sailings leaving from Stornoway at 7am and 2pm have been cancelled as well as the 10.30am service departing from Ullapool.
CalMac said that engineers were onboard the vessel on Wednesday morning working to resolve the issue.

An update on the 5.30pm sailing from Ullapool will be provided at 2pm on Wednesday.
Passengers have been encouraged to use the Uig to Tarbert route due to the cancellations, with additional sailings being put in place to face the backlog.
On Tuesday, commuters faced a full day of disruption due to the same issues, which resulted in all services being cancelled.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
