Actually using the linkspan or just on number 1 berth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only use the Manannan linkspan at certain tide heights and the Ben's linkspan vulnerable to certain wind directions. So it could be possible but wouldn't be great long term and would sacrifice reliability/sailings in adverse weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
