==History==
MV ''Mercandian Carrier'' was built in 1979 for Merc-Scandia KS in Frederikshavn, Denmark.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Fleet - Muirneag )〕 In 1985 she was sold to P&O Irish Sea for the Belfast to Ardrossan service. She underwent an extensive refit, costing 1 million pounds and was renamed ''Belard'', a name created from the first three letters of the ports served.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History - Muirneag )〕 In 1993, she was replaced on the Irish Sea service by the larger and faster ''Merchant Valiant''. Her next owners, the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, operated her across the Irish Sea.〔 From May 1995, she carried out a variety of charters, until she was sold in January 1998 to Aabrenaa Rederi A/S of Kingstown, St. Vincent for service in Norway and the Baltic. Returning to UK waters in 2001, she was chartered for the Aberdeen to Lerwick service and then Ipswich to Ostend.
In 2002 she was purchased by Harrisons of Glasgow and entered a long-term charter to Caledonian MacBrayne for a freight service between Ullapool and Stornoway. She was renamed ''Muirneag'', the Gaelic name of a mountain on Lewis〔 and of a 1903 Zulu herring drifter from Stornoway, the last herring drifter in Britain to be worked by sails alone.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Muirneag SY486 )〕 ''Muirneag'' has a blue hull with Calmac branding and funnels. Sailing overnight across the Minch, she has to withstand extremely poor sea conditions. In November 2005, she spent 15 hours attempting to gain access to Stornoway Harbour in a heavy storm.
By 2013, it was recognised that ''Muirneag'' was unviable for the overnight freight service. On 10 September 2013, it was announced that the Seatruck Ferries vessel would replace ''Muirneag'' from 21 September, pending successful berthing trials at Ullapool and Stornoway on 19 September. The larger vessel has been chartered until July 2014, when the new German-built Stornoway ferry replaces both current vessels and provide a 24/7 single vessel service to Lewis. It was announced on 25 September that ''Muirneag'' had been sold for further service to Turkish owners at £600,000.
