NORTHLINK Ferries has confirmed that today’s (Thursday) passenger and freight sailings to and from Shetland have been cancelled due to the weather.

It means the boats have been off for a third day in a row.

Friday’s sailings are also under review with a high possibility of cancellation.

NorthLink is warning of disruption on its services through to late on Saturday.

Meanwhile the Loganair mail plane arrived in Sumburgh this morning after failing to make it in on Wednesday.
