News / Gales disrupt freight and ferry service
GALE force winds and high seas have led NorthLink Ferries to cancel Tuesday night’s sailing of the passenger ferry Hjaltland and the freight boat Helliar from Aberdeen to Lerwick.
As a result there will be no ferry or freight boat leaving Lerwick for Aberdeen on Wednesday night.
The Hrossey is scheduled to depart from Lerwick for Aberdeen on Tuesday night on schedule at 7pm, and passengers and drivers are asked to check in as normal.
The freighter Hildasay is due to arrive in Kirkwall at 3pm after leaving Aberdeen after 4am in the morning.
Meanwhile NorthLink’s Pentland Firth service has been revised. Details can be found at www.northlinkferries.co.uk
