- HOY HEAD UPDATE - MONDAY 10TH FEBRUARY10/02/2025 10:00
We regret to advise that all sailings today on MV Hoy Head are cancelled. This is due to a main engine breakdown, which requires additional spare parts.
We will be repositioning MV Thorsvoe today, with the aim of recommencing the scheduled timetable from tomorrow morning.
The MV Thorsvoe has a smaller capacity than the MV Hoy Head, so we will be prioritising existing bookings and our team are currently contacting booked customers.
We have temporarily closed off all new vehicle bookings on this route.
Further updates about the repair and booking status will be provided when available.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this disruption to service.
- HOUTON, LYNESS & FLOTTA - WEDNESDAY 12TH FEBRUARY12/02/2025 12:20
We would like to thank customers for their patience whilst we carried out emergency service runs.
Service is expected to resume to schedule at 15:15 from Houton.
