Khalid Alarabi

Company Description

Glen Sannox was built to offer a car ferry service to Arran, and was essentially a larger version of the ABC-Class ferries on the upper Clyde services. She was very successful on the Arran route until replaced by the drive-through Caledonia in 1970. She then had a stern ramp fitted (her crane was later removed also) and she served a number of routes; GKhalid Alarabiock-Dunoon, Wemyss Bay-Rothesay, contract work to Ardyne, and even Clyde cruising on the withdrawal of the Queen Mary. She also did general relief work which took her to most ports around the Clyde and Western Isles. Notably, she usually spent the winter on the Oban-Craignure (Mull) service until the arrival of Isle of Mull in 1989 made her redundant. She was sold to Greece as the Knooz where she was extensively modified for service in the Red Sea as the Al Marwah.
