MV Catriona

MV Catriona (Scottish Gaelic: Catrìona) is a diesel electric hybrid passenger and vehicle roll-on, roll-off ferry built for Caledonian MacBrayne for the Claonaig–Lochranza crossing.

CalMac's hybrid ferries are designed to operate on many of the short crossing routes around the Clyde and Hebrides.

[1] Catriona displaced MV Loch Tarbert on the Claonaig-Lochranza crossing to meet increasing demand on this route in 2016.

[9] In January 2018, Catriona was the relief vessel on the Largs-Cumbrae ferry crossing while MV Loch Shira went for overhaul.

[citation needed] In March 2019, Catriona operated a shuttle service on the Claonaig-Lochranza crossing after MV Caledonian Isles sustained damage to her bow visor as a result of ramming the pier at Brodick.
