ESSENTIAL work is due to take place on the ferry linkspan at Vidlin in April.

A newly-refurbished linkspan will be installed between 2pm on Monday 19 April and 10am on Friday 23 April, weather permitting.

The Skerries service at 1pm on Monday 19 April and at 11am Friday 23 April will be unaffected, and will run as normal.

The Whalsay service will operate out of Laxo while the work is taking place.

Shetland Islands Council said it would like to apologise to passengers for any inconvenience caused by this essential work.

Anyone affected by these changes can contact ferry services to discuss alternative arrangements on 01595 744200.
