MV Loch StrivenAt berth
Her status is about the ship, not about your sailing: this route has a live service notice.
Right now the trackers put MV Clansman alongside at Oban and MV Loch Frisa alongside at Oban, not MV Loch Striven. That is where she is, which is not the same as saying whose sailings these are.
Which vessel actually runs today is on the vessels list . This is the usual assignment, not a rota.
