Speed: 15 kts Callsign: MJCEC Registered: Glasgow Launched by: HRH Princess Alexandra Named after: The island for which she was built to serve and named as part of the 1980s
policy for major vessels (name had to include 'Isle' or 'Isles') Gaelic Name: An t-Eilean Muileach
REMARKS:
Lengthened by 5.4m during 1988 by Tees Dockyard to counteract a deadweight
problem. Her piers had to be altered at the same time. All repairs and
modifications to both vessel and piers were paid for by her builders. Vehicle capacity downgraded
from 80 cars due to modifications on her car deck. Was involved in serious
collision with Lord of the Isles in December 2004 and required major bow
repairs.
