MV Bute is a ferry owned by Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited and operated by Caledonian MacBrayne, on the route between Wemyss Bay and Rothesay. HistoryShe is the seventh Clyde ship to bear the name Bute and Calmac's first ferry built outside the UK since the MV Suilven in 1974. There was much dissent over the decision to order a new ferry from outside the UK.[5] Launched in Poland, she sailed for Scotland, arriving in Gourock on 28 June 2005. After successful berthing trials, she entered service on 11 July 2005.[6] LayoutMV Bute has a semi-open car deck with a clearance height of 5.1m. Like the MV Coruisk before her, she has bow and stern access. In addition she has a starboard vehicle ramp aft which was used at Rothesay before the pier was converted to allow end-loading. Passenger accommodation is on two levels: the first housing forward and aft lounges with a kiosk area and toilets between, while the second level is open deck space from the twin funnels to just forward of the bridge. The bridge sits on its own perch above the open deck. A single lift connects the car deck with the lounge. Bute has Azipod units with electrically driven propellers mounted on a steerable pod, protruding beneath the hull. These made her harder to position at piers than her predecessors with Voith Schneider Propellers and led to delays in the first season.[5]ServiceMV Bute operates the route between Wemyss Bay and Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, along with her sister ship {{MV|Argyle}}. Being more manoeuvrable than the new vessels, the streakers {{MV|Juno|1974|6}} and {{MV|Saturn}} returned to provide the service during work to build a new end-loading linkspan at Rothesay pier in 2007.[2] Due to works at Wemyss Bay Footnotes1. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.shipsofcalmac.co.uk/ships.asp?vessel=bute_vii| title=MV Bute| publisher=Ships of Calmac| accessdate=2012-01-08}} {{commons cat|Bute (ship, 2005)|MV Bute}}2. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.shipsofcalmac.co.uk/h_argyle.asp| title=History of MV Argyle| publisher=Ships of Calmac| accessdate=2007-08-27}} 3. ^{{cite book| title=CalMac Ferries| author=Ian McCrorie| publisher=Caledonian MacBrayne| isbn=0-9507166-7-7}} 4. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.calmac.co.uk/fleet/mv-bute| title=MV Bute| publisher=CalMac| accessdate=25 June 2018}} 5. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.shipsofcalmac.co.uk/h_bute.asp| title=History of MV Bute| publisher=Ships of Calmac| accessdate=1 February 2009}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.mvbute.co.uk/|title = MV Bute website| publisher = MV Bute crew| date = 2015-11-06| access-date = 2016-04-10| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914115432/http://www.mvbute.co.uk/| archive-date=14 September 2017}} 7. ^{{Cite news| url=http://www.cmassets.co.uk/project/wemyss-bay-ferry-terminal/| title=Wemyss Bay Ferry Terminal| publisher=Caledonian Maritime Assets| access-date=2017-12-21|language=en-US}} External links
