Island Crossings

Ardrossan port staff deal with delays, while the Oban pier team face a charity challenge that has them gagging. Meanwhile, it’s the first day of school for an island schoolboy.

Twenty new apprentices join the ranks of CalMac, while Tiree crofters ready their cattle for the final island market of the season, drawing buyers from across Scotland.

Weather and mechanical issues cause havoc across the network, jeopardizing thousands of pounds in fresh Barra shellfish, and there is a hotly contested oyster competition.

CalMac engineer Fergus races in the annual Mull Rally, and CEO Robbie gets hands-on in the MV Caledonian Isles engine room as things start to go wrong.

A freight backlog in Stornoway has area operations manager Fiona struggling to keep supply lines to the Isles open, and CalMac trainee sisters Tanya and Natalie go to sea.
