You're right of course about the title of the thread. However this is a public forum for discussion of DFC related topics so really there's no justification for the thread to be started. Once started though I feel it's fair game to be read and commented upon.

If you ever need to use the ferry you'll probably go on the Calmac website where you can book your trip and it'll tell you there the name of the ships that run the route. That's pretty much all you need or want to know as a casual tripper in all honesty because its draft, capacity, width, length, speed, hold capacity and number of cars that can wait in the car park will not matter to you.
