MV Portree was a ferry, built in 1965 for the Skye crossing. In 1970, she was re-built and moved to the Kyles of Bute where she served until 1986.

History

MV Portree was built to provide additional capacity on the Skye crossing.^[1] However, the service still struggled to keep up with increasing demand. Side-loading was slow and new bow-loading vessels were ordered for Skye. In 1969, STG acquired the Bute Berthing Co. Portree was identified for service at Colintraive and underwent a lengthy re-build.^[2]

Layout

Portree was built with side ramps with angled ends and a deck-turntable. She had no passenger lounge. Her strange appearance was further increased by a forward wheelhouse, unlike previous Kyleakin ferries.

In 1970, she was converted to bow-loading, with a hydraulically operated bow ramp, hinged at three points and hanging from two long booms. She lost her side-ramps and deck-turntable and could then carry ten cars or one commercial vehicle and eight cars. Her vehicle deck was strengthened to carry 20-ton loads. The forward wheelhouse was removed and a raised navigation bridge was erected at the stern.^[2]

Service

Initially joining a fleet of small vessels at Skye, Portree was displaced by the new {{MV|Lochalsh||2}} and {{MV|Kyleakin||2}} in 1971. She and {{MV|Broadford}} served the Kyles of Bute crossing between Colintraive and Rhubodach until the arrival of {{MV|Loch Riddon}} in November 1986.^[1]
