Yes, if Ardrossan Harbour upgrades have not already commenced, the service will relocate to Troon to support the delivery of MV Glen Sannox until the works at Ardrossan are completed.

As of early 2026, the Arran ferry (Ardrossan to Brodick route) is operating out of Troon on a temporary but long-term basis. This move was necessitated by the ongoing and significantly delayed redevelopment of the Ardrossan harbor, where the aging "Irish Berth" and main pier were deemed unsafe for the newer, larger vessels like the MV Glen Sannox. While Troon offers a "gold standard" modern terminal and better deep-water access, it adds significant time to the journey for those traveling from Glasgow, as the rail and road links to Troon are longer than those to Ardrossan. CalMac (Caledonian MacBrayne) has implemented a shuttle bus service to mitigate the disruption, but the "temporary" move is expected to last well into 2027 or 2028 depending on the progress of the Ardrossan infrastructure works. For travelers, this means you must check your departure port carefully; while the "official" home is Ardrossan, the operational reality for the majority of the 2026 season remains Troon, especially for the high-capacity vehicle services required during the busy summer months.
