Following a review of
weather forecasts for the next few days NorthLink have
advised there are likely to be cancellations and delays due
to adverse weather and unfavourable port conditions.
This advance warning applies to both passenger services and
freight vessel services between Aberdeen, Kirkwall and
Lerwick.
The current expectation is that there are unlikely to be any
passenger or freight sailings north or south today (Friday)
or tomorrow.
The company said where possible cancellation decisions will
be made by 11am each day and posted on the NorthLink website
www.northlinkferries.co.uk and on
the sailing information line 0845 6000 449. |
However, as conditions
change services may be cancelled later in the day and
potentially after the scheduled departure time where the
prevailing conditions are not
favourable.
Passengers will board as normal departure is delayed
awaiting improvements in the weather, and if the trip is
cancelled they will allowed to choose to disembark, make
alternative arrangements or rebook for the next boat.
The company apologised for the difficulties.
