MV Hallaig

The ferry will accommodate 150 passengers, 23 cars or two large vehicles, with a service speed of nine knots and is designed for use on many of the short crossing routes around the Clyde and Hebrides.

The new ferries will use some of the most innovative new ‘green’ technology, including Lithium Ion battery banks supplying a minimum of 20 per cent of the energy consumed on board. Benefits include reduced fuel consumption and impact of CO2 emissions and other pollutants, noise reduction and lower maintenance requirements.
