On Sep 30, 2018, the 'Loch Seaforth' suffered a cooling water leak on its main engine which resulted in the vessel experiencing reduced power. The ferry arrived around one hour behind schedule. A part was replaced by engineers and the service was back up and running ”normal then. The ferry had departed from Ullapool on the scheduled 6.30 p.m. sailing to Stornoway in the evening. However, over an hour into the voyage the vessel encountered an engine failure and was forced to travel home at reduced speeds. Delays and need for repair caused the cancellation of the 10.30 p.m. sailing from Stornoway and the overnight 3am freight from Ullapool before service resumed at 7 a.m. on Oct 1.
