Heavy fog forces ferry sailing cancellations 

Thick freezing fog has disrupted ferry sailings in Scotland.

It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning in force from 5pm on Tuesday lasting into Wednesday morning.

CalMac confirmed several services were cancelled due to the poor conditions on Wednesday morning.

The 6.00am and 8.30am sailing from Colintraive to Rhubodach ferry and the 6.10am and 9.10am sailing from Rhubodach to Colintraive were confirmed to be cancelled.

Warning of ‘freezing fog’ as difficult conditions cause rush hour jam on M8

The fog, which has persisted all day, will likely turn thicker going into Tuesday evening, the Met Office said.

Meanwhile, the 6.25am, 7.05am, 8.05am and 9.05am sailings from Rothesay and the 7.15am and 8.05am, and 9.05am sailings from Wemyss Bay to Rothesay were all suspended.

Fog conditions also mean a one-vessel service will operate until further notice on the Gourock to Dunoon route, while the Gourock to Kilcreggan service is liable to disruption or cancellation at short notice.

CalMac said all other sailings are also liable to disruption or cancellation and will operate on a sailing-by-sailing basis.
