History
Carvoria was built to operate the ferry service between the small island of Kerrera and the mainland at Gallanach, about three kilometres to the south of Oban. The 12-metre-long vessel has capacity for 12 passengers and a car, but due to vehicle restrictions on Kerrera she rarely carries cars.
She was built by Malakoff Limited at its shipyard at Greenhead Base in Lerwick, Shetland. She replaced the former ferry Gylen Lady, which dated from 1999, shortly after CalMac took over the service in 2017.
