NorthLink advises that both its passenger ferries are scheduled to sail at 7pm tonight (Tuesday). Due to the rough conditions, the Hrossey is expected to arrive in Aberdeen at midday, five hours behind schedule.

Wednesday night’s service from Lerwick to Kirkwall and Aberdeen has been cancelled, while the northbound sailing will be delayed until Thursday morning. ETA into Lerwick is 22.30pm on Thursday.
