Ferries on the main route to Arran are suspended due to a new technical problem with the CalMac ship MV Glen Sannox, just a week after it returned to service. Sailings between Troon and Brodick have been cancelled since Monday afternoon due to a warning light issue with the ship's port main engine. The ferry returned to the Troon to Brodick route last week after a three-month absence due to an extended annual overhaul and remedial work to tackle a vibration issue. The other main Arran ferry, MV Caledonian Isles, is also out of action, and a chartered catamaran which provides back-up for the route is away for scheduled maintenance. CalMac said the new fault on Glen Sannox followed the fitting of a spare part. A spokesperson said the ship appeared to be running well, but as it approached Troon "the oil mist detector alarm for the port main engine came on again". CalMac later confirmed the cancellation of the first services departing Troon and Brodick on Wednesday. The company also said MV Caledonian Isles would depart Inchgreen dock in Greenock on Wednesday morning to commence sea trials. If successful, the service is expected to resume with the 12:30 departing Ardrossan. Glen Sannox
