We last observed the vessel in Gourock (GB) less than 1h ago. SOUND OF SEIL is sailing under the flag of United Kingdom. Its IMO number is 9665217 and the current MMSI number is 235101062. A ferry at the southern tip of Seil crosses the 200 metres wide and fast flowing Cuan Sound, and connects the island with the isle of Luing, its neighbour to. Both vessels are nearing the completion of their finishing works and sea-trails, and will soon begin operations on Western Ferries route between Dunoon and Gourock. SOUND OF SEIL built in 2013 is a vessel in the Passenger general cargo segment. The new vessels can carry 54 cars and are enlarged versions of the company’s roll-on roll-off ferry MV Sound of Shuna, which can carry 45 cars. More than 200 guests attended the event which saw the ferries blessed before being christened with bottles of champagne broken over their bows by Glenis Coles and Maria Chittick, who are the wives of long-standing Western Ferries’ staff, Capt Robin Coles and Neil Chittick. The vessels continue Western Ferries tradition of naming its vessels after Scottish sounds. We have piano and flute accompaniment and sing folk. The ceremony marked the completion of a multi-million pound contract which has seen Cammell Laird build two new car ferries for Western Ferries MV Sound of Seil (Cammell Laird keel number 1387) and MV Sound of Soay (keel number 1388). Seil Sound is a group of singers who meet every Wednesday from 7.30 9.00pm in Seil Island Hall. Birkenhead based shipyard and engineering firm Cammell Laird has hosted a formal naming ceremony for the first complete ships constructed by the company in 20 years for Scottish ferry operator Western Ferries (see notes to editors).
