Loch Sunart was purchased at auction by Caldive of Invergordon at the start of 2019 and laid up with her sister ship Loch Scavaig at Fort William. In October 2018, The Underwater Centre ceased trading and entered administration. Scalpay was converted into an ROV support vessel and renamed Loch Sunart. On the acquisition of two brand new ferries in October 2013, Scalpay and Sound of Sanda were sold to The Underwater Centre, Fort William, Highland for conversion to dive barges for the training of commercial divers.

They were overhauled at Greenock and renamed Sound of Scalpay and Sound of Sanda before entering service at McInroy's Point. In the mid 1990s, she and her near sister Gemeente Pont 24 were purchased by Western Ferries for service on the Clyde. Gemeente Pont 23 was built in Arnhem, Netherlands in 1962, for Amsterdam City Council. In 2018, Loch Sunart was converted into an ROV support vessel and is now owned by Caldive.
