Скачать или смотреть MV Coruisk (Armadale to Mallaig)

The MV Coruisk sailing from Armadale to Mallaig filmed on a Hi8 camcorder.

The MV Coruisk is a ferry with an eventful past.... Built in 2003 it is operated by Scottish ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne serving on the west coast of Scotland.

On the evening of Sunday 24th August 2003 when, coming into Mallaig harbour, the vessel lost power and manoeuvring capacity. Coruisk struck a reef at the harbour entrance and lost one of her propulsion units.

In March 2014, she ran into the pier at Dunoon, sustaining serious damage but managed to make her own way to Greenock to be assessed for repairs.

The design of Coruisk is unique as well as bow and stern ramps, allowing drive-through operation, she also has a port side ramp, allowing side-loading on the Clyde in winter months. The bow ramp is protected by an open visor, similar to those found on Orkney and Shetland inter-island ferries.

Above the car deck are two passenger decks, one containing the main lounge areas with toilets and a small shop. A small external deck area on the same level, both fore and aft of the lounges, has stairways leading to the open deck above. Crew accommodation is on the upper deck. Sitting even further up, the bridge gives the master a view down over bow and stern.
