Freight sailings disrupted on Wednesday

NORTHLINK has said that Wednesday’s freight sailings are set to be affected by high winds.

The passenger sailing of the Hjaltland on Wednesday night is also set to be disrupted, with an early departure and likely late arrival.

She will now leave Lerwick at 4pm, with her arrival into Kirkwall expected to be affected by minor delays.

However her arrival into Aberdeen on Thursday morning may be delayed by up to two hours.

The freight sailing of the Helliar from Lerwick to Aberdeen has now been cancelled.

However the Hildasay will sail from Aberdeen at 3pm, and is estimated to arrive into Kirkwall at midnight.

She will then return to Aberdeen instead of travelling north.

Both of tonight’s freight sailings are also set to be delayed, with the Hildasay‘s arrival into Aberdeen tomorrow likely to be up to three hours late.

The Helliar is likely to be one hour late arriving into Lerwick tomorrow.
