On Boxing Day, as weather conditions improved and before Storm Gerrit struck, Scotland’s government-owned ferry service helped thousands travel to and from friends and relatives in 50 locations in the islands and around small communities on the west coast.
196 out of 196 sailings were on time.
BC Ferries in Canada – book in advance, get there early, ride-share but still expect long waits.
Washington State Ferries – stay at home.
Cross channel ferries?
Long delays for ferry passengers coming into Dover after Christmas after staff sickness in France
In Greece, smaller islands get no winter service at all.

Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
Consistently brilliant performance from Calmac, despite what the unionist media may tell you! Oh by the way, John, have you yet seen the “island crossings” documentary about Calmac? it is possible to watch programmes on iPlayer without having a TV licence. You just need to click “I have a tv licence”.

FYI Gregor, think if you use iplayer, BBC will know it’s you and will chase you up if you haven’t got a license.

Well, I’ve watched most of it, and it does talk a bit about delays and disruption and that, but it doesn’t necessarily say it’s crap, and it does remind viewers that Calmac is indeed a lifeline for the islands and that it is really important for them. It does also show some of the people that work at calmac, etc.

I’ve been so fed up of unionists trashing Calmac and trashing us who live on the islands because we didn’t vote Tory. I personally have never had issues with Calmac except once
