The threat of strike action at Caledonian MacBrayne ferries has been averted after union members accepted a revised pay offer.
Mick Cash, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, said "significant progress" had been made in talks with the operator.
CalMac's £900m Scottish government contract to run Clyde and Hebridies ferry services for the next eight years starts on Saturday.
The company welcomed the pay decision.
