News / Ferries suspended
THE FERRY service across Yell Sound, Bluemull Sound and to Bressay have all become victims of the severe gale force winds.
The council’s ferry services department said this morning (Thursday) that the services were suspended until further notice.
Meanwhile, the NorthLink ferry Hjaltland arrived at Lerwick harbour at 6am this morning, an hour and a half ahead of schedule.
At Sumburgh airport, the mail plane has been cancelled and the first flight from Aberdeen, due to arrive at 7.45am, is currently delayed by an hour.
