SERCO NorthLink has warned customers that services over the next few days may be affected by the weather.

The southbound departure is currently under review and may leave Lerwick early.

Thursday’s freight sailings to and from Shetland are likely to be cancelled.

The freight boats on Friday are also under review and similarly have a high probability of cancellation.
