MV Carvoria is a landing craft owned by Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited, and operated by Caledonian MacBrayne in Scotland. She was launched in August 2017, and is the smallest vessel in the CalMac fleet.[3]
History[edit]
Carvoria was built to operate the ferry service between the small island of Kerrera and the mainland at Gallanach, about three kilometres to the south of Oban. The 12-metre-long vessel has capacity for 12 passengers and a car, but due to vehicle restrictions on Kerrera she rarely carries cars.[4]
She was built by Malakoff Limited at its shipyard at Greenhead Base in Lerwick, Shetland.[4] She replaced the former ferry Gylen Lady, which dated from 1999, shortly after CalMac took over the service in 2017.[5]
