    CalMac is shocked to hear of the redundancies at P&O Ferries. We have available vacancies, including Deck Ratings and Seaman Pursers required to start in April. Please read CalMac MD's statement encouraging anyone affected to apply here - calm.ac/3KYyI8i

    Responding to incorrect reports linking CalMac to food shortages, MD Robbie Drummond says: "During the latest disruption, we shipped all food deliveries we were asked to. We always prioritise food supplies and didn't leave any on the mainland. Any shortages were not our fault.”

    If you’re travelling to the Outer Hebrides and taking a motorhome/campervan on one of our ferries, you are now required to have a booking with an official campsite ⛺️

    Our crew see many amazing wildlife in the water and seas around our network. This footage was shared with us by the fishing vessel Eilean Ban. It shows dolphins playing in front of the MV Loch Tarbert as she headed south at Ardnamurchan point 🐬⛴ #MarineAware #ThrowbackThursday

    Our crew see many amazing wildlife in the water and seas around our network. This footage of dolphins was taken last year by one of our Chief Officers from the MV Lochnevis as it travelled from Mallaig to the Small Isles 🐬 #MarineAware #ThrowbackThursday
