Transport / Hrossey to return to service on Tuesday
THE NORTHLINK ferry service is set to get back to normal tomorrow (Tuesday) as the Hrossey returns to service following a dry dock delay.
The situation had resulted in some sailings being cancelled at the weekend, as well as tonight (Monday).
NorthLink has now confirmed that the Hrossey is due to sail from Lerwick to Aberdeen on Tuesday night, with the Hjaltland going in the opposite direction.
The Hrossey had been in scheduled dry dock in Rosyth when a rudder issue delayed her return to service.
A similar issue also happened with the Hjaltland in February.
