Hebrides arrives into Ardrossan. 06/01/13

Hebrides arrived into Ardrossan for the first time in nearly 12 years today after leaving James Watt Dock this morning and circling outside until Caledonian Isles had cleared the berth at 1230. She carefully arrived into the harbour at 1245 and seemed to berth perfectly.

However when her gangway was towed off her car deck shortly afterwards there was a massive bang, and part of the gangway had toppled over and been slightly damaged. Ropes were used from Hebrides bow and  pulled the gangway up right and it was towed off the linkspan. Divers were also seen around her stern for something else.

She eventually left at 1420 for Brodick and Caledonian Isles once again arrived at 1440.

Hebrides took over the Arran roster at Brodick at 1640 and Caledonian Isles is now heading past Cumbrae and towards Greenock as I type this.
