MV Lochnevis (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Nibheis) is a ferry launched in 2000 and operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, serving the Small Isles of Scotland.
This allows her to berth a considerable distance from a slipway, protecting her exposed Azimuth thrusters in shallow waters.
Officers' accommodation lies forward of the lounge, while heavy side doors lead to the open deck.
Further aft are the fast rescue craft (port) and a single funnel and the hydraulic goods crane (starboard).
Lochnevis was scheduled to return from her overhaul on 21 September, however this was delayed twice due to additional repairs being required.
