Leirna expected back in service later today

A spokesperson for the SIC said the fault has now been identified as “a problem with the cylinder liner seals in the forward main engine”.
The Leirna was taken out of service on Tuesday evening with the much small stand-in vessel Fivla currently providing cover Bressay route.
