A LIFELINE ferry has broken down causing a fresh wave of disruption to lifeline island services and headaches for holidaymakers over the past six days. The 18-year-old MV Coruisk, a younger member of Scotland s ageing ferry fleet has had technical issues since Thursday leading to a series of cancelled sailings to Mull - one of Scotland s most popular holiday islands. After undergoing repairs and sea trials on Sunday it emerged that yesterday (Tuesday) services were further disrupted with sailings cancelled because of a problem with the engine propulsion management system. Local campaigners who have been pushing for a replacement ferry say the development is precipating a crisis on the islands.
