Emergency services in Scotland respond to reports that a man fell overboard from a CalMac passenger ferry off the Isle of Arran. Outlets report that HM Coastguard and local rescue teams were alerted late on Sunday, with the incident reported east of the island.

The search involves helicopters and lifeboats and is described as a major operation. The Herald Scotland says the effort runs for around eight hours before being stood down. During the search, CalMac ferry services are reported to be disrupted on 19 October, as responders coordinate around the incident. The Mirror also notes that the major search is ultimately called off after the man is not found during the operation. No further details about the man’s identity or outcome are provided across the sources.
