MV ''Jupiter'' was a passenger and vehicle ferry in the fleet of Caledonian MacBrayne in the Firth of Clyde, Scotland. She was the oldest of three "streakers" and the third River Clyde steamer to bear the name 'Jupiter'. Her open car deck was accessible by stern and side ramps ro-ro. She entered service in 1974, and operated the Gourock to Dunoon crossing for much of her career. In 2006, she became the oldest vessel in the CalMac fleet and operated for longer than any vessel ever in the fleet. ''Jupiter'' was sold for breaking in 2011. ==History== MV ''Jupiter'' was the first of a new generation of car ferries built in the 1970s to serve the routes on the Firth of Clyde. These ships came to be nicknamed the "Streakers" because of their greater speed (compared to what had served the area’s routes previously) and superb manoeuvrability (due to her novel propulsion units, which greatly reduced loading and unloading times at each end of her route).〔 Just as the 1970s saw the Streakers replace an earlier generation, so they in turn are being replaced by a new generation of CalMac ferries designed for the Upper Firth. and are now in service and only remains. ''Jupiter'' continued on the Gourock-Dunoon run until October 2010 and was thereafter laid up at Rosneath. In June 2011, she was sold to Fornaes Shipbreaking of Denmark to be broken up and recycled in compliance with the DEFRA UK ship recycling strategy. She was towed away down the Clyde on 25 June 2011 and arrived in Grena, Denmark on 1 July, scrapping commenced in August and she was gone by late October.
