Ullapool route starts sea trials 13 November 2014 Last updated at 10:30 A ferry built for Caledonian MacBrayne's Stornoway-Ullapool route is undergoing sea trials in Scotland. Built in Germany, the £41.8m MV Loch Seaforth was at Ullapool and on the Clyde earlier this week. Once in service, it will be able to take 700 passengers, 143 cars or 20 commercial vehicles. The vessel was named after the Loch Seaforth, a mail boat that sailed between Lewis and the Scottish mainland between the late 1940s and early 1970s. The new ferry will replace the MV Isle of Lewis.
