Diesel at Kerrera - update

Post by Nick »

.
From Oban Marina's website, 24th April :

At this moment in time we are unable to sell diesel to our customers.

As a result of legislation we have had to send our work boat Catalina away for modifications to allow her to carry diesel.

As a result of this we are having to retain our diesel stock to maintain our plant, equipment and vessels. Hopefully this will be a short term arrangement and a solution will be found to supply the marina with diesel in the near future.

Diesel can be obtained from Tommy Barbour at the railway pier in Oban.

We can only apologise for the inconvenience.

If partaking of Tommy's diesel, beware of the uniformed Calmac dragon lady who thinks she can demand vast amounts of money for your parking. I recommend a blocker on the pier to divert her attention while you make your escape.
