Travel Updates
There are multiple travel updates for our services.
  • We regret to advise that all sailings on the Nordic Sea are cancelled on Monday 5th October.

    This is due to forecasted weather and berthing conditions.

  • We regret to advise passengers that the 0740 service from Pierowall to Papa Westray, and its subsequent return, is cancelled. The 0830 sailing from Pierowall to Papa Westray will be attempted, but subject to berthing conditions on arrival.

    This is due to the forecasted weather conditions.

    The afternoon sailings will run as scheduled.

    For the latest updates on all our routes and sailings, please visit our website or social media feeds.

  • We are pleased to advise that the engine issues on the Earl Thorfinn have now been resolved and that following successful sea trials, the vessel will return to service this afternoon.

    We would like to thank customers for their patience and understanding while we dealt with this disruption to the Outer North Isles services.
