FERRY operator NorthLink has warned that both its first sailings of the year are likely to be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.
The north and southbound sailings for Tuesday (2 January) are currently under review “with a high probability of cancellation”, the company said.
A final decision will be made tomorrow morning.
The last scheduled sailings of the Hrossey and Hjaltland were on Saturday 30 December.
