THE BLUEMULL Sound ferry is operating as a single vessel service after MV Geira suffered technical problems.

The Bigga will continue service on this route, operating to a Saturday timetable. All bookings are suspended.

The Geira will be out of action for the rest of the week as she undergoes repairs.

Bus service 24V, the North Isles Integrated/Overland service, will also operate to a Saturday timetable during this period.

Current ferry timetables can be found online.
