THE return to service of the large CalMac ferry currently in Greenock for repairs has been delayed yet again.

MV Loch Seaforth has been at Dales Marine for a few weeks and several planned return dates have been missed

May 31 is the new one.

CalMac said: "As a result of ongoing repairs to the MV Loch Seaforth, investigations to repair the damage to one of the engine bearings have identified further issues to the engine crankshaft which will require attention before the vessel can return to service."
