Travel Updates
There are multiple travel updates for our services.
  • We would like to advise customers there has been a change to the replacement flight for cargo.

    The planned 12.30 replacement charter flight has been cancelled.

    The goods will now be transported on the scheduled flight departing Kirkwall at 13.45.

    Arrive Westray – 09:25

    Depart Westray – 09:35

    These changes to sailing times are due to forecasted conditions and the need to accommodate a refit vessel switch over of the Earl Sigurd and Earl Thorfinn during a suitable weather window

  • We regret that there will be disruption to the Pierowall to Papa Westray sailings on Sunday.

    The following sailings will be attempted, subject to being able to berth safely on arrival.

    • Dep Pierowall 1315
    • Arr Papa Westray 1340
    • Dep Papa Westray 1350
    • Arr Pierowall 1415
    • Dep Pierowall 1515
    • Arr Papa Westray 1540
    • Dep Papa Westray 1550
    • Arr Pierowall 1615

    The remaining sailings are under review.

    This is due to the current sea and forecast weather conditions.

  • We would like to advise passengers of an anticipated delay to the middle Sanday and Eday sailings from and to Kirkwall on Monday 26th January.

    The 12:05 arrival to Sanday, the 12:35 arrival to Eday, and their subsequent arrivals into Kirkwall will be delayed by up to 30 minutes.

    This is to enable an additional call to Eday at the start of the sailing for an essential fuel delivery.

    We ask customers to be available to board for the usual departure times to help the crew complete the route as swiftly as possible and minimise the delay.
