MV Sound of Soay is a car and passenger ferry, operated by Western Ferries on the upper Clyde between Gourock and Dunoon, Scotland. [3]
Sound of Soay was built entirely in the UK by Cammell Laird of Birkenhead. [3] She was launched/ craned into the River Mersey on 22 July 2013, [1] the first complete ship from the yard since 1992. [4] After fitting out, she entered service in October 2013.
Sound of Soay and her sister, MV Sound of Seil were a development of the design of the earlier fleet members. [3] They have a single car deck with 194 lane-metres and bow and stern ramps. There is a passenger lounge. The ferries utilise LED lighting and enhanced heat recovery.
Along with up to three other vessels, Sound of Soay operates Western Ferries' Clyde service between McInroy's Point ( Gourock) and Hunters Quay ( Dunoon). This 2.2 nautical mile crossing [2] allows vehicles to avoid the A83 " Rest and be thankful". [1]
