 REMARKS:
She is equipped to carry dangerous goods. Vessel engine controls, alarms and monitoring, all carried out from engineer’s control station on the bridge. A disastrous start to her career was completed with a loss of power causing her to ground on rocks off Mallaig, followed by a very poor reception on the Dunoon run in December 2003.
