A Scottish ferry grounded in North Uist due to a loose screw in its servomotor.

The UK Marine Accident Branch (MAIB) said the 5,500-gt Hebrides (built 2001) ran over several mooring pontoons in Lochmaddy on 25 September last year after its controllable pitch propeller went down.

There were no injuries but the ferry was damaged and had to be taken out of service and repaired in drydock.
