MV HEBRIDES
A GREENOCK ship repair firm got a stricken CalMac ferry back in service rapidly.
MV Hebrides was damaged when she struck a pier in North Uist.
She limped into town at the end of last week and the team at Dales Marine worked round the clock to repair a hole in the vessel's hull.
The ferry, which was built at Ferguson's and launched in 2000, left on Sunday and was back in service yesterday.
