A CalMac ferry, the MV Caledonian Isles, is evacuated following a report of a bomb threat on its Brodick to Ardrossan crossing, according to multiple outlets. Emergency services respond as the incident unfolds, and officials also report that a passenger goes overboard during the voyage and is later rescued from the sea.
BBC News says the overboard incident is reported on the 16:40 sailing from Brodick to Ardrossan, with the passenger subsequently rescued. The Daily Record and The Mirror both link the rescue and subsequent emergency response to the bomb threat, describing evacuation measures and disruptions to sailings.
There is some variation in wording across outlets, including whether the accounts describe the incident as a “bomb reported” or a “bomb threat,” and the detailed sequence of events as described by each publication. However, all coverage confirms the same vessel and route, the emergency response, the passenger rescue, and the resulting impact on ferry operations.
