MV Carvoria is a landing craft owned by Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited and operated by Caledonian MacBrayne ferries in Scotland. It was launched in August 2017. She is the smallest vessel in the Calmac fleet.[1]

History

MV Carvoria has been built to operate the ferry between the small island of Kerrera and the mainland south of Oban at Gallanach. The 12 metre-long vessel has capacity for 12 passengers and 1 car, but due to vehicle restrictions on Kerrera she rarely carries cars.[2]

It was built by Malakoff Limited at its factory at Greenhead Base on Shetland.[2]
