Transport / Bluemull Sound ferry to be suspended due to crew shortages
THE BLUEMULL Sound ferry service will be suspended this afternoon (Saturday) due to crew shortages.
The service, which runs between Yell, Unst and Fetlar, will stop at 1.45pm before resuming at 5pm.
There is crew sickness, and no engineer cover in the afternoon. Once back in service the crew will put in extra runs where they can.
