History

The project to build seven new "Loch Class" ferries is part of CalMac's Small Vessel Replacement Programme (SVRP), aimed at replacing the aging small vessels on short-crossing routes. The contract was awarded to Remontowa Shipbuilding in Poland in March 2025, with construction commencing later that year. These new, fully electric ferries are designed for increased capacity and resilience and are scheduled to begin entering service on key routes across the Clyde and Hebrides ferry network starting in 2027.
