MV BELNAHUA

 MV BELNAHUA  Isle of Luing Cuan Sound Crossing built in 1972 Campbeltown shipyard .

 she is at the end of her reasonable and already extended

life. Parts can no longer be sourced for her engines and work is required to bring her up to

standard with current marine requirements. She is also operating around 25% above

capacity to support demand, especially in summer. She is scheduled to have a life

extending refit early in 2024 that will fit new engines and other compliant equipment such

as fixed firefighting equipment and bilge alarms. This should extend her life for around 5

years.

The current plan is that a new vessel will be built for the Jura-Islay route which would free up

MV Eilean Dhiura to replace the MV Belnahua.

P960 Skjold

 Skjold-class corvettes (skjold means "shield" in Norwegian) are a class of six light, superfast, stealth missile corvettes in service with the Royal Norwegian Navy. The boats were formerly classed as MTBs (motor torpedo boats) but, from 2009, the Royal Norwegian Navy has described them as corvettes (korvett) because their seaworthiness is seen as comparable to corvettes, and because they do not carry torpedoes. They were built at the Umoe Mandal yard. With a maximum speed of 60 knots (110 km/h), the Skjold-class corvettes were the fastest combat ships afloat at the time of their introduction., as of 2023 beaten by the Abu Dhabi MAR WP-18 Interceptor.
