INTER island ferry traffic across Yell Sound will have limited capacity for the next three weeks as a result of the Dagalien being taken out of service for her scheduled annual maintenance.

From Monday onwards the much smaller Fivla and Dagalien‘s sister vessel Daggri will operate the Yell Sound service.

The annual maintenance schedule for all Council ferries can be found at: www.shetland.gov.uk/ferries/DockingSchedules.asp
