MV Loch Bhrusdam seen at Maalaig on 30th September 2015. She was built by McTay Marine on the Mersey. Her sea trials included berthing trials at Largs and Cumbrae Slip, proving her suitable to relieve there. She started the Sound of Harris service in 1996, but it soon became apparent that she was too small and a new vessel was required for the increasingly popular route.With the introduction of MV Loch Shira at Largs, MV Loch Alainn took over the Eriskay service. Since 2007, Loch Bhrusda has been the Clyde spare vessel.In October 2014, she relieved MV Hallaig on the Sconser - Raasay route so that Hallaig could go for her overhaul. In 2015, MV Loch Bhrusda relieved MV Loch Portain on the Sound of Harris route twice. On one of these occasions the latter ship had to go to dry dock after "making contact" with the Sound of Harris seabed..
