Rolling, rolling, rolling. Passengers feared the NorthLink ferry was going to capsize on Wednesday night before the captain regained control of the vessel with 500 passengers on board.

NORTHLINK is warning of delays to its ferry services over the coming days.

The Hjaltland will sail from Lerwick at 7pm tonight (Tuesday), but her arrival into Aberdeen tomorrow could be delayed by up to one hour.

The Hrossey will also depart early from Lerwick on Wednesday, leaving at 4.30pm instead of 5.30pm.

However, her arrival into both Kirkwall and Aberdeen is due to be on time.

The freight vessel Helliar will sail from Lerwick at 6pm on Wednesday, but may be delayed by up to three hours arriving into Aberdeen on Thursday.
