MV Loch Frisa is a ferry bought by Caledonian Maritime Assets for operation by Caledonian MacBrayne to serve between Oban and Craignure.[3][2] She was originally named MV Utne and operated by Norled from 2015 to 2021.[3][2] In December 2021, following a naming competition, CMAL announced her renaming as MV Loch Frisa.[4]

History

MV Utne was launched in 2014 and operated by Norled from 2015. In 2021, Norled sold her to Caledonian Maritime Assets for €6.6 million (£5.6 million),[5] as they were replacing their diesel-powered vessels with zero-emission battery-electric vessels.

Following a public vote, she was renamed to MV Loch Frisa, with the other options being Glen Forsa and Torosay.[6][4] She was modified for her new role by Dales Marine in Leith at a cost of £3.4 million. She was renamed in Craignure on 6 June 2022,[1] and is expected to enter service in 2022.[3][5]

There was an earlier Loch Frisa which served in Scottish waters, the MacBrayne cargo steamer SS Loch Frisa,[7] a general cargo ship which sailed under MacBrayne's houseflag in the 1950s and early 1960s.[8]

Layout

Utne is a double-ended ro-ro ferry. As she has no crew accommodation, crew are based ashore. In Norway, she had two crews and was able to operate 18 hours a day.[2]

Service

Utne was designed for service in a Norwegian fjord, and operated between Utne and Kvanndal on the Hardangerfjord, a sheltered crossing of 2.5 miles.[9]

Loch Frisa joined MV Isle of Mull on the Oban to Craignure, Isle of Mull route, replacing MV Coruisk as the second vessel. Her first public voyage, carrying four cars from Craignure to Oban, was on 13 June 2022. MV Coruisk moved back to Mallaig in summer 2022.[5][10] During winter overhauls, Loch Frisa operated a single vessel timetable.[11]

Due to delays in the annual overhaul programme, from 26 March to 16 April and 13 to 26 May 2023 Loch Frisa operated alongside MV Coruisk on the Oban - Craignure route, while MV Isle of Mull was redeployed to South Uist. [12][13]
